Michael Grandage Company and Headlong present the world première of James Graham’s new play Labour of Love, starring Martin Freeman and Tamsin Greig. This razor-sharp political comedy reunites James Graham and director Jeremy Herrin following their previous collaboration on This House, and plays at the Noël Coward Theatre from the 27 September for 10 weeks only.

Labour MP David Lyons cares about modernisation and “electability”… his constituency agent, Jean Whittaker cares about principles and her community. Set away from the Westminster bubble in the party’s traditional northern heartlands, this is a clash of philosophy, culture and class against the backdrop of the Labour Party over 25 years as it moves from Kinnock through Blair into Corbyn… and beyond?

Following sell-out runs at the National Theatre and in the West End, James Graham’s critically acclaimed and political drama This House will embark on its first ever national tour, beginning at West Yorkshire Playhouse on 19 February 2018.

This extraordinarily prescient play takes on a new importance in the current political climate. Are we in the midst of a political revolution? Can the country stay united?

Roll back to 1974. The corridors of Westminster ring with the sound of infighting and backbiting as Britain’s political parties battle to change the future of the nation, whatever it takes. In this hung parliament, the ruling party holds on by a thread.

Directed by Jeremy Herrin (People, Places & Things, Junkyard), This House gives us a timely, moving and often amusing insight into the workings of British politics.

Full casting has been announced for Jeremy Herrin’s much anticipated UK revival of Duncan Macmillan’s highly acclaimed People, Places & Things. Joining Lisa Dwyer Hogg as Emma are Michael Balogun (Shaun), Trevor Fox (Paul & Dad), Susan Lawson-Reynolds (Jodi), Ekow Quartey (Foster), Andrew Sheridan (Mark), Imogen Slaughter (Meredith), Aimee-Lou Wood (Laura) and Matilda Ziegler (Doctor & Mum).

Following a critically-acclaimed, sold-out season at the National Theatre and in London's West End, People, Places & Things will embark on a major UK tour for Headlong in a co-production with the National Theatre, HOME and Exeter Northcott Theatre.

The production will open to press at HOME, Manchester, before travelling to Oxford Playhouse, Bath Theatre Royal, Bristol Old Vic, Exeter Northcott Theatre, Nuffield Southampton Theatres, Liverpool Playhouse and Cambridge Arts Theatre.
