THE winner of the Olivier Award for Best New Musical, Our House is a compelling tale of right and wrong, heartbreak and comedy, life and love set to the non-stop classic hits of Madness.
Sixteen today, in love for the first time, the world is changing for Joe Casey. But on this fateful night he doesn’t realise just how much – at a pivotal moment, Joe must choose whether to follow the right or wrong path.
Our House features a stunning script by Tim Firth (Calendar Girls) and a catalogue of Madness hits including It Must Be Love, Driving In My Car, Baggy Trousers and My Girl.
For Sean and Marie Ridley, who play the leading roles of Joe Casey and his mum Kath, it will mark the first time that a real life mother and son have played that same relationship on stage.
Our House is at New theatre Royal Portsmouth from Wednesday to Saturday.
Box office 023 9264 9000 or newtheatreroyal.com.
