This work pieces together the human story of the Fire and its aftermath - the panic and terror, the bewilderment and violence and chaos, the search for scapegoats and the rebirth of a city. It recreates what happened to schoolchildren and servants, courtiers and clergymen when the streets of London ran with fire and "by ye Permission of Heaven, Hell broke loose upon this Protestant City".
