Shirley Valentine
KOORLINY ARTS CENTRE presents
Shirley Valentine

5 Sep 2014 to 13 Sep 2014

  • Laughing Horse Productions and Koorliny Arts Centre
  • Starring Diana Oliver and directed by Adam Salathiel

A one-character play by Willy Russel, Shirley Valentine takes the form of a monologue by a middle-aged, working class Liverpool housewife, focusing on her life before and after a transforming holiday abroad.

Wondering what has happened to herself, now feeling stagnant and in a rut, Shirley Valentine finds herself regularly talking to the wall while preparing her husband's chips and egg. When her best friend wins a trip-for-two to Greece, she packs her bags, leaves a note on the Cupboard door in the kitchen, and heads for a fortnight of rest and relaxation. What she finds is romance and a new awareness of who she is and what her existence can be with just a little effort on her part.
