The Theatre Club’s next outing takes us north to TimeLine Theatre’s new home in Uptown for a darkly funny exploration of marriage, nostalgia, and the allure—and delusion—of the “perfect” past.
HOME, I’M DARLING
by Laura Wade • directed by Mechelle Moe
Saturday, November 21 • 2 pm matinee • TimeLine Theatre, 5035 N. Broadway
In Home, I’m Darling, 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.
The Plan
11:30 am – Saturday Jazz Brunch at the Club: a great meal and live music

2 pm – Curtain at TimeLine Theatre
Skipping brunch? You’re welcome to meet the group at the theatre instead.
Tickets
Estimated ticket cost is $80–$100 per person, depending on whether we can get a group discount. There will be a nominal extra charge for those sharing Uber transportation to and from the Club.
Please note that we are now attending on Saturday the 21st rather than the originally planned November 19 performance, which is sold out. Tickets are going quickly, so we need to reserve very soon.
Reserve Your Seat
Let Rick Frendt know as soon as possible if you’d like to join in the adventure:

PLEASE NOTE, when you respond that you plan to attend a show, we purchase tickets out of pocket at that time and they are not refundable (the Club does not buy the tickets).
