The upcoming HOME, I’M DARLING is an Olivier-Award winning comedy about marriage, nostalgia, and the pursuit of the “perfect” home life.

 Judy has given her life a retro-rebrand and embraced a full-time role as the ideal 1950s housewife. Her life is a whirl of vintage dresses, cocktails, and perfectly polished surfaces.

 But as cracks begin to appear, Judy finds herself increasingly at odds with the realities of modern life and the expectations of her marriage. Is the past really as idyllic as she imagines, and what does “happiness” truly look like?
