Funny, fearless, heartwarming and beautifully honest — Shirley Valentine is the story of one woman rediscovering herself, her dreams, and her sense of adventure.
Stuck in the routine of cooking chips and egg for her husband while talking to the kitchen wall, Shirley wonders what happened to the bold, passionate woman she once was. When an unexpected opportunity comes her way, she takes a chance on life, laughter, and perhaps even a little romance beneath the Greek sun.
Packed with humour, warmth, wit and unforgettable storytelling, Willy Russell’s much-loved classic is a celebration of self-discovery, second chances, and finding your spark again — no matter your age.
Whether you know and love Shirley already, or are discovering her for the first time, this is a production that will make you laugh, reflect, and leave the theatre smiling.
Join us for this hilarious and touching theatrical favourite.
Bring your friends, bring your wine-loving bestie, your Mum — and don’t miss this unforgettable journey to Greece and beyond!
On-stage 7.30pm nightly, 15-25th July and matinee 4pm Sunday 19th July.
