How many of us can recall the 1950’s, the days of black and white television, party-line telephones, Elvis and rock ‘n’ roll?
Noosa Arts Theatre’s next production is the play, Home I’m Darling, which transports us right back to the 1950’s.
Judy and Johnny are recreating the whole 50’s lifestyle where men were perceived to wear the pants but in fact it was the women who ran the show. It was a time of predictable gender roles with a dash of
“Mad Men” drama! It was a time of backyard gossip over picket fences, where men brought home the bacon and women cooked it, all while keeping a smile as perfectly ironed as their apron.
I’m sure the audiences will be able to relate if they have lived through the era and will become a history lesson for others who haven’t witnessed it.
It is a hilarious play written by Laura Wade and has garnered many awards including the Olivier Award in 2019. There have been many reviews such as: “Home, I’m Darling” is a thought provoking, funny and
extremely enjoyable play,
The characters are interesting and likeable. There are surprise plot twists. There are meaty arguments. And, oh, my dear, the frocks are lovely.
This production is well-timed and the pacing is excellent, most obviously in frequent laughter from the audience This is a production not to be missed so make sure you get your tickets early.
