Plot: In today’s modern world, Judy and Johnny feel out of place. They’ve chosen to give up the trappings of the Internet age and live life like it’s 1950 all over again, but “Nostalgia ain’t what it used to be…” How can they cope when the fantasy of domestic bliss clashes with cold hard reality? Issues of marriage partnership, identity, and traditional gender roles swirl in this halcyon dream of yesteryear where rules and routines become a love language all their own. “An original, sometimes unsettling look at the masks people put on in order to conceal their pain.” The Evening Standard. WhatsOnStage raves“…sharp, funny, and strikingly perceptive play,”
From the Director: “So often, when we talk about love and marriage, there’s this idea of the “honeymoon phase” and then real life, and we romanticize that honeymoon phase when reality proves itself to be difficult. I think what speaks to me most in HOME, I’M DARLING is that love forged through facing reality and continuing to choose love is so much deeper and more authentic than any of the impressions of love we get in the honeymoon phase. Fantasy can get you so far, and it’s scary to leave fantasy behind, but life becomes so much richer when you take real stock of what actually works for you and what you actually want in the confines of reality.” —Peter Fenton, Director
