Home, I’m Darling - NATIONAL DRAMA

Home, I’m Darling

Every couple needs a little fantasy to keep their marriage sparkling. Judy and Johnny are living the 1950s dream, but behind the gingham curtains, being a domestic goddess is not as easy as it looks A dark comedy about sex, cake, and the quest to be the 'perfect' housewife, Laura Wade's incisive study of the idealisation of gender norms remains as topical as ever as it asks how happily married are the happily married? Home, I’m Darling is a compelling, incisive play that interrogates nostalgia, gender performance, and the seductive, yet precarious, fantasy of retreating into an idealised past.
