HHHHH
Daily express, Daily Telegraph
‘A funny and moving political epic. Another hit
is born in the cottesloe.’
The Times
‘James Graham’s superb new drama held everyone
enthralled throughout... Funny, touching and
cliff-hangingly suspenseful.’
Daily Telegraph
‘Jeremy Herrin’s production recaptures,
with abundant theatricality, the mayhem
of Westminster politics.’
Guardian
1974. The Uk faces economic crisis and a
hung parliament. set in the engine rooms of
Westminster, This House strips politics down to
the practical realities of those behind the scenes:
the whips who shepherd and coerce a chorus of
MPs within the Mother of all Parliaments.
Following a sell-out run in the cottesloe, James
Graham’s acclaimed play transfers to the Olivier
Theatre from February 2013.
