House of Life is a work of theatre created by Sheep Soup that is, according to its description, “one-part sermon, one-part purge, three-parts party,” or, in simpler terms, a “travelling musical cult.” Walking into the Soho Theatre Upstairs, you are greeted by a bright and glittery backdrop, as well as a table full of instruments and mixing equipment, the perfect setting for a rave. A man dressed in a suit is handing out bracelets and he then takes to the stage, beginning the show with some instrumentals as the RaveRend takes the stage.
