Kent's work at the Tricycle included verbatim political plays. Some of these were edited by Richard Norton-Taylor: "Half the Picture" examined the arms to Iraq inquiry, "Tactical Questioning" examined the inquiry into the death of Baha Mousa, and "The Colour of Justice" examined the Macpherson inquiry into the death of Stephen Lawrence. Kent also commissioned theatrical responses to the detentions at Guantánamo Bay, the 2011 London riots, and – in "The Great Game" – Britain's involvement in Afghanistan.
