Honey I’m Home

From November 21 to December 1, 2024, Factory Theatre presents Lester Trips (Theatre)’s Honey I’m Home, a darkly comedic and surreal physical theatre* production created and directed by Lauren Gillis and Alaine Hutton, at the Factory Studio Theatre.

Slow Wi-Fi nightmare triggers an unsettling revelation

What’s a hard-working full-time career person to do when her entire job is done by AI, but her body still has to show up to work? To combat her raging boredom, workaholic Janine uploads her consciousness into her home. Literally. Slow Wi-Fi soon leads to a horrifying discovery in this body horror mystery.

With innovative sound design and sharp humour, Honey I’m Home delves into the absurdity of modern life and the impact of technology on human existence, combining eerie soundscapes, atmospheric lighting and movement to craft a visually and emotionally charged experience.

The cast features Lauren Gillis, Alaine Hutton and Angela Blumberg.

About Lester Trips (Theatre)

Lester Trips (Theatre) is Lauren Gillis and Alaine Hutton, a performing/writing/directing/designing duo with a decade of shared training in physical performance and making people uncomfortable. In their own words: “We create questionably comedic theatre, film, and ‘digital not otherwise specified’, often revolving around the internet ruining our brains, distorting our sexualities, and how we all can’t stop looking at it.” Previous works include ghost stories about erotic repression Mr. Truth (Why Not Theatre’s RISER/Theatre Centre, 2018); a peri-apocalyptic deformation of The Wizard of Oz in Intangible Trappings (2016); a men’s dating seminar gone wrong Safe and Sorry (SummerWorks 2019); and a speculative fiction/cringe comedy series streaming on CBC Gem, Content Farm (2023).
