On Tour: Home, I'm Darling

Following a sold-out run at the National Theatre and a West End run at the Duke of York's Theatre, Laura Wade’s ‘piercingly funny’ (Time Out) new play embarked on a limited UK tour.

Katherine Parkinson (The IT Crowd, Humans) reprises her acclaimed role as Judy, in Laura Wade’s fizzing comedy about one woman’s quest to be the perfect 1950’s housewife.

How happily married are the happily married? Every couple needs a little fantasy to keep their marriage sparkling. But behind the gingham curtains, things start to unravel, and being a domestic goddess is not as easy as it seems.

Home, I'm Darling played at the Duke of York's Theatre from 26 January to 13 April 2019.

Tuesday 16 – Saturday 20 April 2019

Katherine Parkinson is outstanding. An amusing, affecting, inspiring evening of soft gingham and hard truths.

The Times

A cracking new play wittily directed on a fabulous fifties doll-house set.

Tamara Harvey's production fizzes with energy. Anna Fleischle's design is note-perfect.
