Laura Wade wrote Posh, a 2010 satire about a Tory dining club at Oxford University, in which men behaved as if feminism had never happened. Wade’s new play deals, more sympathetically, with a female freeze-frame.

Home, I’m Darling appears at first to be a modern pastiche of the sort of 1950s domestic comedy that contained the greeting – from a husband returning to his devoted housewife – that the play’s title inverts.
