Darling, I’m Home? – New Season Opening Show at MAk! (NB in icelandic)

We’re proud to kick off the new theatre season with Darling, I’m Home? by British playwright Laura Wade — for the first time ever on an Icelandic stage!

⭐ Premiere: October 11, 2025 at Hof, Akureyri

What if life really was better in the old days? That’s what Gunna believes. She and her husband Jónni have chosen to live like it’s the 1950s: clean house, well-pressed outfits, cocktails ready by the time the “man of the house” gets home. But what happens when reality — and her feminist mother — come knocking?

With retro wardrobes, a broken vintage fridge, and the challenge of staying true to a lifestyle that’s far from practical in 2025, this witty and thought-provoking play offers a humorous look at nostalgia, love, and modern contradictions.

✨ Fresh, funny, and thought-provoking!
