From Laura Wade (Posh), the critically acclaimed play, Home, I'm Darling heads out on a countrywide tour in 2023. Winner of the 2019 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy this unique comedy-drama takes aim at the vintage values of the 1950s and one woman's singular obsession with becoming the ultimate domestic goddess.
Wade's first play since her ground-breaking Posh, Home, I'm Darling dives behind the potential facade of a 'happy marriage', asking what the epithet truly means. Tamara Harvey returns to direct the production, with co-production from Theatre Clwyd and the National Thatre
What is the story?
Judy and her husband Johnny appear to have the perfect post-war era life. From all the decade's mod cons to their vibrant decor and clothes, they seem to have stepped straight out of the pages of Good Housekeeping. Despite their bliss, they are somewhat of an enigma to their more forward-thinking friends. As cracks begin to show, it isn't long until the gingham curtains are thrown wide open and Judy discovers being a model housewife isn't quite as easy as it appears in the magazines...

terrific Feminist DISCOURSE
What starts as a fizzy domestic comedy very quickly becomes a shattering discourse on feminism, questioning a woman's right to choose how she lives her life.
L.P. Hartley once said "The past is a different country, they do things differently there" and oh boy was he right. This is especially true in the case of the fabulous Home, I'm Darling.
