This House

Description

This country doesn?t need a constitution, never has, never will. We have History as our guide. In tough times, the British do what we have always done. We muddle through. 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 intere.;Cover; Title Page; Contents; Introduction; Premiere Cast Information; Characters; Prologue; Act One; Scene One; Scene Two; Scene Three; Scene Four; Scene Five; Act Two; Scene One; Scene Two; Scene Three; Scene Four; Scene Five; Acknowledgements; About the Author; By the Same Author; About the National Theatre; eCopyright.
