Summary

A dramatised reconstruction of the events in the six month inquiry into the murder of Stephen Lawrence. The case has gone from being a black family tragedy to a British tragedy, with the public identifying with his parents' loss and subsequent sense of outrage.

Colour of Justice Summary

Colour of Justice by Richard Norton-Taylor

In 1993, black teenager Stephen Lawrence was stabbed to death in a racist attack by a gang of white youths. The police investigation failed to provide sufficient evidence to convict. Based on the harrowing transcripts of the public inquiry, this is a dramatic reconstruction of the first hearings which reflected the national outcry at the police's mishandling of the case. First seen at the Tricycle Theatre, London, this remarkable production received instant acclaim and subsequently transferred to the West End.
