This House is a timely and relevant political comedy exploring Westminster and the 1974 hung parliament. In the run - up to the General Election pressure mounts as squabbling whips attempt to attract key regional votes. As it becomes clear the results will be closely balanced the play tracks the formation perils and consequences of a coalition government including the compromises conflicts and power games all in the interest of gaining control of Parliament. With well - paced witty and waspish dialogue This House playfully explores the childish digs and chauvinistic attitudes that riddle political life. Award - winning playwright James Graham combines comedy with comment in this portrayal of the strain between the thinking individual the pressure to toe the part line and the end goal of winning government.
