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.
