Rehearsals are due to start for a new production of Laura Wade’s acerbic comedy Home, I’m Darling, which was a sell-out hit when it premiered three years ago.

The second production, a co-production between Scarborough’s Stephen Joseph Theatre the Octagon Theatre, Bolton, and Theatre by the Lake in Keswick, will feature Vicky Binns, Sandy Foster, Sam Jenkins-Shaw, Tom Kanji, Sophie Mercell and Susan Twist.

Coronation Street fans will recognise Vicky who played Molly Dobbs in the soap and Susan played lottery winner and gambling addict Rosie Banks in Brookside.

Sweet peas in the garden; homemade lemon curd in the kitchen; conjugal joy in the bedroom. Judy and Johnny seem to be the perfect couple – quite sickeningly happy, in fact.

But is their marriage everything it seems? Are there cracks in their domestic bliss? And where do they go when the manners and morals of the 1950s don’t quite suit them?
