Home, I’m Darling
Feb. 2-17
Written by Laura Wade
Directed by Pat Street
We are excited to present the Southeastern U.S. premiere of this delightful British play. Home, I’m Darling was first produced in 2018 at a regional theatre in Wales. After moving to London, it won the 2019 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy. When Judy sets out to become the perfect 1950s housewife, she and Johnny are living the dream. They have a beautiful home, he has a promotion on the horizon, and she revels in the joys of domesticity. But cracks begin to appear that threaten their domestic bliss. This fun look at grass-is-greener thinking and gender roles asks important questions about what men and women might want and how they might find it.
Home, I’m Darling is presented by arrangement with Knight Hall Agency Ltd.
Tickets go on sale on the Monday 11 days prior to each show’s opening.
