Home, I'm Darling

How happily married are the happily married?

Home, I'm Darling is a dark comedy about sex, cake and the quest to be the perfect 1950s housewife.

Judy has Johnny's slippers waiting for him when he arrives home from work, the kitchen's clean, the rooms are aired...yet this is not the 1950s, but a 21st-century 'arrangement' agreed between the two of them. With clothes, furniture and a (faulty) fridge from the 1950s, Judy and Johnny try to 'live the dream', with specific roles and a perfectly ordered life.
