Chicago Premiere

November 11 – December 13, 2026

at TimeLine Theatre,
5035 N. Broadway
Chicago, IL 60640

A darkly funny exploration of marriage, nostalgia, and the allure—and delusion—of the “perfect” past.

Judy and Johnny are living their dream: the idealized 1950s suburban life. As Judy doubles down on her fully immersive retro domestic fantasy, the seams of their hyper-curated life begin to fray. What begins as a lifestyle choice becomes a revealing—and unsettling—interrogation of gender roles, identity, and what it costs to perform happiness.  

A smash hit on the West End and winner of the 2019 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, Home, I’m Darling is a razor-sharp satire that feels both timely and timeless.
