THIS HOUSE by James Graham is streaming this week on the National Theatre YouTube channel. The play covers British politics in the 1970's. Some of the plot is going over my head but the cast and the staging are terrific. Did anyone else watch today?

Saw this when they remounted it on the West End about 3 years ago, and I enjoyed it a lot. It definitely helped to have a glossary in the program. It's tough to get a hang of all the names and terms, but once I did, I got really invested in the down-to-the-wire tension of these political processes. The style and pacing is similar to the play Ink, also by James Graham, but I enjoyed this one more than Ink.

Absolutely loved the broadcast. Won’t lie- was mad co fused about the politics, but was riveted by the whole thing. I think Quiz is his most recent play with Ink coming before...was this his first big production? Loved it!
