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

Every couple needs a little fantasy to keep their marriage sparkling. Judy and Johnny are living the 1950s dream, but behind the gingham curtains, being a domestic goddess is not as easy as it looks

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 Comedy, Home, I'm Darling is published in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series, featuring a new introduction by Tamara Harvey.
