Play Reading - This House By James Graham
ONLINE PLAY READING 16TH APRIL THIS HOUSE BY JAMES GRAHAM Criterion members are invited to join a fun and informal online play reading of This House by James Graham on the 14th April at 8pm. Online play readings are open to all to attend and read or listen. Please just register your interest via the following link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAqfuGprjMqHN0-glCl0UH-Ywko0RJ5V2PN [https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAqfuGprjMqHN0-glCl0UH-Ywko0RJ5V2PN] ABOUT THE PLAY: 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. The premier of the play at the National Theatre in 2012 and 2013 was hugely successful and it was then revived in the West End in 2017, when it was Olivier-nominated.
