More Information on This House
Take a seat on the frontbench and heckle your way through history.
Fist fights break out in the parliamentary bars and high-stake tricks and games are played, as the government hangs by a thread in the hilarious This House.
Following a sell-out run at the National Theatre, the Playhouse is transformed into the House of Commons in James Graham’s witty and explosive play. This House explores a turbulent moment from political history through a present day lens.
A trip through the past, or a glimpse into the future, has anything really changed?
