Overview
Darling, I 'm Home! is a play for four men and four women. With the
capableand experienced Celia Johns growing more and more frustrated by
staying
aimlessly at home and her husband Rupert proving more and more
inefficient as a businessman, it seems a good idea - though Rupert is
shocked
at first - that they should change places: and indeed Celia soon starts
Rupert's firm on a profit-making course, while Rupert runs the house
with equal efficiency and enthusiasm. Complications arise, however, on
both sides-not unconnected with Rupert's growing unease as Celia
becomes increasingly the travelled-and-attractive male-accompanied
career woman. Matters are brought to a head by the arrival of daughter K
aren to
take up residence-with two babies, but, for the moment, no husband.
