This House is a thoroughbred crowdpleaser, lampooning - without tipping into spoof - a political system that is flawed but somehow still functioning.
The Guardian
Delve into the murky world of 1970s politics in The House, which finally makes its West End debut after two sell-out runs at the National Theatre. Written by James Graham (Privacy), this riveting play takes place during the hung parliament of 1974 and follows the backroom deals, arguments and even fist fights which kept the country's government from crumbling into complete chaos.
This production, which is thoroughly researched, bitingly satirical and deeply comic, takes a poke at the often absurd nature of political systems and their inhabitants. It's directed by Jeremy Herrin, who was also at the helm of this year's most buzzed about play, People, Places & Things.
This House begins in 1974. The political landscape in Britain is tense, to say the least. On the brink of an economic crisis, Labour's power is hanging by a thread. The play puts the inner workings of government under a microscope; backroom cabinet staff seek to win minor battles which are just as heated as anything in main-stage politics. It's behind-the-scenes political machination at its best.
