A very British political play, This House was as blustery and high-energy as the clips I've seen of the actual British Parliament. Set in 1974, during a notable point of turmoil and hung Parliament, it was an entertaining look at the backstabbing and negotiations and compromises that happen behind the scenes. Most interesting to me, an unnamed young Tory rising in the ranks is based on a rather famous figure in British politics. I'll avoid the spoiler for those few readers who might actually see this someday, but I can assure anyone over 40 that you've heard of her, at least.
