This HouseAuthor: National Theatre
This House is about the British Government from 1974 to 1979 when the UK faced economic crisis and a hung parliament. In a culture hostile to cooperation, it was a period when votes were won or lost by one, when there were fist fights in the bars and when sick MPs were carried through the lobby to register their vote. This collection features interviews with the playwright, the director and a look at portraying the world of 1970s politics.
