Description

“A scalpel-wielding dissection of the fetishisation of wifeliness." - The Guardian

Judy and Johnny are living the 1950s dream: linoleum flooring, starched collars, chocolate chiffon cake in the oven... and the laptop charging on the kitchen table.

A dark comedy about sex, cake, and the quest to be the 'perfect' housewife, Laura Wade's incisive study of the idealization of gender norms remains as topical as ever as it asks how happily married are the happily married?

Winner of the 2019 Olivier Award for Best New Play, Home, I'm Darling is published in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series, featuring a new introduction by Tamara Harvey.
