Are we in the midst of a political revolution? Can the country stay united? \nRoll back to 1974. The corridors of Westminster ring with the sound of infighting and backbiting as Britain’s political parties battle to change the future of the nation\, whatever it takes. \nIn an era of chaos\, both hilarious and shocking\, fist fights break out in the parliamentary bars\, high-stake tricks and games are played\, while sick or dying MPs are carried through the lobby to register their crucial votes as the government hangs by a thread. \nJames Graham’s biting\, energetic and critically-acclaimed play strips politics down to the practical realities of those behind the scenes who roll up their sleeves\, and on occasion bend the rules\, to manoeuvre a diverse and conflicting chorus of MPs within the Mother of all Parliaments. Directed by Jeremy Herrin (People\, Places and Things\, Wolf Hall)\, This House gives us a timely\, moving and often amusing insight into the workings of British politics. \nAudiences will be treated to a live band on stage playing music from the era\, including: ‘5 years’ and ‘Rock ’n’ Roll Suicide’ by David Bowie\, ‘Pretty Vacant’ by The Sex Pistols\, ‘I Vow To Thee My Country’ and ‘The Red Flag’. \nPlease note this production contains strong language throughout. \nDownload the education pack HERE \n★★★★★ “A stroke of genius.” The Times\n★★★★★ “A thrilling play that both relives history and transcends it.” Guardian\n★★★★ “Ferociously witty” “The most intelligent\, entertaining and informative political drama of this decade.” Daily Telegraph\n“A funny and moving political epic” The Times\n “.. magnificently sharp and witty … a landslide success” Evening Standard \n  \n \nProduction photos by Johan Persson: \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n THIS HOUSE\n THIS HOUSE by Graham\, \, Writer – James Graham\, Director – Jeremy Herrin\, Designer – Rae Smith\, Lighting – Paule Constable\, West Yorkshire Playhouse\, 2018\, Credit: Johan Persson - www.perssonphotography.com /\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n THIS HOUSE\n THIS HOUSE by Graham\, \, Writer – James Graham\, Director – Jeremy Herrin\, Designer – Rae Smith\, Lighting – Paule Constable\, West Yorkshire Playhouse\, 2018\, Credit: Johan Persson - www.perssonphotography.com /\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n THIS HOUSE\n THIS HOUSE by Graham\, \, Writer – James Graham\, Director – Jeremy Herrin\, Designer – Rae Smith\, Lighting – Paule Constable\, West Yorkshire Playhouse\, 2018\, Credit: Johan Persson - www.perssonphotography.com /\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n THIS HOUSE\n THIS HOUSE by Graham\, \, Writer – James Graham\, Director – Jeremy Herrin\, Designer – Rae Smith\, Lighting – Paule Constable\, West Yorkshire Playhouse\, 2018\, Credit: Johan Persson - www.perssonphotography.com /\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n THIS HOUSE\n THIS HOUSE by Graham\, \, Writer – James Graham\, Director – Jeremy Herrin\, Designer – Rae Smith\, Lighting – Paule Constable\, West Yorkshire Playhouse\, 2018\, Credit: Johan Persson - www.perssonphotography.com /\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n THIS HOUSE\n THIS HOUSE by Graham\, \, Writer – James Graham\, Director – Jeremy Herrin\, Designer – Rae Smith\, Lighting – Paule Constable\, West Yorkshire Playhouse\, 2018\, Credit: Johan Persson - www.perssonphotography.com /\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n THIS HOUSE\n THIS HOUSE by Graham\, \, Writer – James Graham\, Director – Jeremy Herrin\, Designer – Rae Smith\, Lighting – Paule Constable\, West Yorkshire Playhouse\, 2018\, Credit: Johan Persson - www.perssonphotography.com /\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n THIS HOUSE\n THIS HOUSE by Graham\, \, Writer – James Graham\, Director – Jeremy Herrin\, Designer – Rae Smith\, Lighting – Paule Constable\, West Yorkshire Playhouse\, 2018\, Credit: Johan Persson - www.perssonphotography.com /\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n THIS HOUSE\n THIS HOUSE by Graham\, \, Writer – James Graham\, Director – Jeremy Herrin\, Designer – Rae Smith\, Lighting – Paule Constable\, West Yorkshire Playhouse\, 2018\, Credit: Johan Persson - www.perssonphotography.com /\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n THIS HOUSE\n THIS HOUSE by Graham\, \, Writer – James Graham\, Director – Jeremy Herrin\, Designer – Rae Smith\, Lighting – Paule Constable\, West Yorkshire Playhouse\, 2018\, Credit: Johan Persson - www.perssonphotography.com /\n \n \n \n \n\n \n URL:https://www.malvern-theatres.co.uk/whats-on/this-house/ LOCATION:Grange Road\, Malvern\, WR14 3HB GEO:52.1103165;-2.3274728 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Grange Road Malvern WR14 3HB;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Grange Road:geo:-2.3274728,52.1103165 CATEGORIES:Drama,Plays ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.malvern-theatres.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/This-House-823x408.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
