Welcome to Judy’s world: a pastel-perfect 1950s dream of cocktails, canapés, and crisp house dresses. But beneath the smiles and spotless surfaces, something isn’t quite right. What begins as a nostalgic escape spirals into a sharp, thrilling unravelling of identity, obsession and the darker side of domestic bliss.

Home, I’m Darling is a bold, bitingly funny, and fiercely stylish play that asks: how far would you go to live the life you think you want?Step back in time, but don’t get too comfortable.

A brand new production from the guys that brought you Steptoe & Son!

Tommy Cooper, one of the greatest ever comedians, is back! Expertly performed by Phil Hoyles – the UK’s number one impersonator – he brings you all of the ‘tom’-foolery, jokes, songs, laughs, magic, failed magic, and energy, that the original funnyman presented all those years ago!

Renowned theatre magazine The Stage describes Phil’s portrayal as “a carbon copy in look, voice and humour” and “as near to the genuine article as you can get”!

He’s got the height, the laugh and the Fez – all we need is you! Come along and join us for a trip down memory lane, a jolly good laugh and an evening of belly-aching nostalgia.

This show is being produced by Cattle Productions Ltd. who have a distinguished reputation in the revival and recreation of classic comedy, ensuring that these true icons are never forgotten.

We are also supporting local charity Tiny Lives Special Care Babies from the proceeds.
