On 14 September 2003 at the Haitham Hotel in Basra, Iraq, receptionist Baha Mousa and nine others were arrested by the British Army as suspected insurgents. Two days later Baha Mousa was dead. In 2008 a public inquiry was launched into the death of Baha Mousa and the treatment of those detained with him.

Tactical Questioning: Scenes From The Baha Mousa Inquiry brings together scenes from the inquiry to produce a piece of verbatim theatre which examines the British Army’s treatment of detainees.

The production reunites Richard Norton-Taylor, who edited the transcripts, and director Nicolas Kent, the team behind the majority of the Tricycle theatre’s previous ‘tribunal plays’ which include Nuremberg, The Colour Of Justice, Justifying War, Bloody Sunday and the fictional play which imagined former Prime Minister Tony Blair put on trial, Called To Account.
