Well. Home, I’m Darling is GLORIOUS. The acting, the set, the costume, the music, the transitions. DELIGHTFUL. If you don’t see this you have def missed out. Special mention has to go to Kornelia Adelajda as the director. Oh and all the glorious skirt twirling.
Jo Boniface
What a beautiful evening at SLT being completely transported to the 1950’s! Everything from the performances, direction, costumes, music and that stunning set was a pure joy to watch. Congrats all! If anyone needs me, I’ll be twirling my way into every room. #BEAD

It was absolutely wonderful. Excellent work by all!
Greg Williams
Well done on a great run everyone. When I saw this show at the National despite the big star names and huge set the interpretation left me cold and I never cared much for the characters who I felt hadn't travelled much in the journey. Kornelia Adelajda has done a much better job at drawing out the subtleties of the text and I absolutely loved the SLT version. So there, NT in your face ! Great show you should all be very proud
Charlotte Benstead
We loved the show! A really fun evening. Brill cast - and quirky additions from ASM. Fantastic set. Yet again an SLT triumph!!
Lorna Felix
Really enjoyed the show last night. Some fab performances. And really clear direction. Still can't get the fascination with 50s thing. But mum's speech was brilliant. Well done all.
