Shirley Valentine is a British comedy. “Funny as hell and most heart-warming” A bored housewife is offered a trip to Greece by her best friend. She secretly packs her bags, heads for the sun and starts to see the world and herself very differently.
Willy Russell’s heart-warming one-woman comedy play premiered in 1986 and took the world by storm. Now, on its 30th anniversary, Louise Porter (Always…Patsy Cline, On a First Name Basis) stars in this English national treasure. No stranger to Willy Russell’s work, Louise took on the title role in Educating Rita for this theatre company in 2001. The show was an overwhelming success.
