Mad House Tickets

Ambassadors Theatre

Stranger Things' David Harbour and Bill Pullman star in the world premiere of Theresa Rebeck’s scathingly funny family drama.

A darkly funny family drama

Stranger Things star David Harbour makes a blinding West End debut in dark and funny new play Mad House at the Ambassadors Theatre.

Michael has returned to his childhood home in rural Pennsylvania to look after his dying father. His siblings Ned and Pam soon turn up, with one thing on their minds: how big is the inheritance and when are they getting their hands on it?

Harbour, best known for his role as Jim Hopper in Netflix hit Stranger Things, stars as Michael opposite acclaimed stage and screen actor Bill Pullman, in this provocative portrait of a family's final reunion.

Mad House is the latest play from Theresa Rebeck (Smash, Bernhardt/Hamlet), directed by Moritz von Stuelpnagel (Hand to God, Present Laughter).

Watch a family pay their last disrespects with Mad House tickets. This biting new drama celebrates its world premiere at the Ambassadors Theatre for a strictly limited season.

A really strong performance from both Bill Pullman and David Harbour. Good solid writing in a dark comedy that deals with hard topics such as mental health and death. You really felt like you were a fly on the wall watching as the family unravel in Read more
