About the Show

The UK tour of Laura Wade's Olivier Award-winning comedy about one woman’s quest to be the perfect 1950s housewife.

Judy stays at home while Johnny works as an estate agent. They appear to live a picture-perfect 50s life, that is until Johnny realises that they have major financial issues and the home is on the brink of being repossessed ...

'Home, I’m Darling' premiered at Theatr Clwyd in 2018 before transferring to the National Theatre and the West End. The show won the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy in 2019.

Funny, Intelligent, Great staging

See it if you want a thoughtfully crafted and clever comedy. The set and costumes were all utterly superb.

Don't see it if you're looking for a comedy that offers out and out laughter, rather than wit combined with social commentary and introspection.

Critic Reviews (2)

"This version feels muted; less sharp and less provocative than in 2018. This biting satire has lost its teeth."

“ ‘Home, I’m Darling,’ was a wonderful way to spend a few hours, showcasing wonderful performances from its stellar cast and extremely clever writing and social commentary...This is a show I highly recommend, and to be honest even without the clever writing and excellent performances, I would see it again just for the outfits.”
