Former Stockton South parliamentary candidate, James Gaddass, takes on the role of Walter Harrison in political theatre piece This House coming to The Lowry April 24 to 28.

Gaddas will star alongside Lancashire-born Ian Barritt who takes on the role of four different MPs throughout the play.

James Graham’s political drama examining the 1974 hung parliament takes on a new importance in the current political climate. The corridors of Westminster ring with the sound of in-fighting and back-biting as Britain’s political parties’ battle to change the future of the nation.

Portraying the Labour whips are Martin Marquez, Tony Turner, James Gaddas, Natalie Grady and David Hounslow. On the Conservative benches are William Chubb, Matthew Pidgeon and Giles Cooper.
