James Graham’s political drama This House will transfer to the Garrick Theatre in London this November, following a run at Chichester’s Minerva Theatre.
Having originally played two sell-out seasons at the National Theatre, This House will open at the Garrick Theatre on 19th November and run until 25th February 2017.
The cast will be confirmed later this year.
Synopsis
This House is set in 1974, and focuses on an economic crisis and a hung parliament in the UK. The play is set in Westminster, audiences will see politics stripped down to the practical realities of those MPs behind the scenes.
The play is about a culture hostile to cooperation, and focuses on a period when votes are won or lost by one; when there are fist fights in the bars; and when sick MPs are carried through the lobby to register their vote.
