Photograph: Joe TwiggRelated: 'A kind of tragedy': why we turned the Chilcot Iraq inquiry into a playThe picture that emerges is of a war that achieved an unstoppable momentum. Given that the Chilcot inquiry report is said to be four times as long as War and Peace, I suspect few of us will ever read it. Facebook Twitter Pinterest Raad Rawi plays both Sir John Chilcot and Tony Blair in the verbatim play. The play also prepares us for the publication of the Chilcot inquiry on 6 July by reminding us of the dishonesty and ill-preparedness surrounding the momentous decision to go to war. This documentary play by Richard Norton-Taylor and Matt Woodhead, however, dramatically distils much of the key evidence.
