The idyllic and iconic image of the 1950s perfect housewife and domestic goddess is about to be shattered in an unsettling new comedy, Home, I’m Darling, a co-production between the National Theatre and Theatr Clywd.
Every couple needs a little fantasy to keep their marriage sparkling. But behind the gingham curtains, things can start to unravel, and being a domestic goddess is not always as easy as it seems.
