Season
Shirley Valentine
A personal journey of triumphant
measures
The
heroine, played by Nancy Schroder,
is a rather ordinary English housewife trapped in a routine
existence and a mundane marriage.
As
Shirley prepares dinner for her family, she ruminates
on life, talking to the wall about her husband, her children,
her past, and an attractive offer she has received from
a girlfriend to go to Greece for a holiday.
When
her husband spurns the dinner, it is the straw that breaks
the camel's back and Shirley goes to Greece where she
has an 'adventure' and decides to stay.
Shirley
reclaims herself, her dignity and her life. Having felt
worthless for so long, Shirley breaks out. A personal
journey of triumphant measures.
Willy
Russell's wit, incisive humour and telling observations
make Shirley Valentine perfect entertainment for a spring
evening.
