What is the story of This House?
The festering world of British politics is placed centre stage in This House, James Graham's acclaimed play that made its National Theatre debut in 2012.
The story begins in February 1974, when the British government is paralysed by a hung Parliament. We focus on a group of people forced to walk the political tightrope between ambition and what is best for their country.
The production than spans a further five years until 1979, settling on the vote of no confidence in James Callaghan's government. The play promises to be a nostalgic yet biting excursion into the country's not-too-distant past.
How was This House received?
In its glowing five-star review, The Daily Telegraph described Graham's play as "Funny and cliff-hangingly suspenseful".
How long is This House available to stream for?
It is available to stream for one week from Thursday the 28th of May.
