It’s Your Last Chance to Get Round to Our House

By Liam Rudden

EMBARRASSMENT, My Girl, Night Boat To Cairo and One Step Beyond – Four 80′s chart-toppers for Madness and songs which feature in the West End musical Our House, which runs at the Edinburgh Playhouse until tomorrow.

Joe Casey is 16 today. Time to impress Sarah, the girl he loves, but how? And so he commits a petty crime. A fast-moving romantic comedy, Our House follows the two courses Joe’s life could have taken. The first, had he stayed to face the music; the second, had he bunked the law and made a run for it. Starring Steve Brookstein, winner of the first series of ITV’s X-Factor, who makes his stage debut as Casey’s dad and actress Gwyneth Strong, best known as Cassandra in the long-running BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses, as the mum. It would be madness to miss it.

Our House, Edinburgh Playhouse, until tomorrow, various times, GBP 12-GBP 28, 0844-847 1661
