This House

A co-production with Neal Street, Nica Burns of Nimax Theatres and Headlong, in association with Jonathan Church Productions and Gavin Kalin.

Presenting the National Theatre and Chichester Festival Theatre production in the West End at the Garrick Theatre 19th November, 2016 to 25th February, 2017.

This House was first presented at the National Theatre and received unprecedented critical praise playing two sell-out runs (Cottesloe Theatre 18th September - 1st December, 2012 & Olivier Theatre February - May, 2013). The show was later revived with an equally successful run at the Chichester Festival Theatre in September 2016 prior to its West End transfer to the Garrick Theatre November 2016 to February 2017, where it again struck a chord, playing to sell-out houses and celebrated with outstanding reviews.

In May 2019 the play was voted Play of the Decade in Bloomsbury Publishing's '60 Years of Modern Plays' public vote.

Set in the engine rooms of Westminster, James Graham’s This House strips politics down to the practical realities of those behind the scenes: the whips who roll up their sleeves and on occasion bend the rules to shepherd and coerce a diverse chorus of MPs within the Mother of all Parliaments.
