Rival factions, creaking traditions, radical reformers and two parties duking it out: in 1974 the Houses of Parliament form an intriguing battleground. A complicated melange less two-sided than all-sided, the UK faces economic crises and a hung parliament, and party whips become desperate brokers in a world where votes can squeak by on a single vote.
The acclaimed production of This House finally secures its long-awaited transition from the National Theatre after a brief spell at the Chichester Festival Theatre.
Fist fights in the Strangers’ Bar, half-dead MPs carried to the polls, heartache, headache, subterfuge, and whip-crack drama. This House is a tragicomic trip through the corridors of power, as the blood and guts of Westminster are spilled for all to see.
