About the event
Directed by Rob Derry
Every marriage needs a little fantasy to keep it sparkling. But behind the gingham curtains, being a domestic goddess isn't as easy as it looks for Judy.
An Olivier Award Winning comedy drama about cake, relationships, and the quest to be the perfect 1950s housewife.
"Home, I’m Darling is a scalpel-wielding dissection of the fetishisation of wifeliness, a 21st-century cultural cul-de-sac populated and policed almost entirely by women. The 1950s ideal of cupcakes and cocktails, vintage clothes and village fetes, is all good squeaky-clean fun at one level. But as playwright Laura Wade identifies, this icing sugar-drenched life is not as sweet as we might imagine." - Guardian review of original production, 2018
