Shirley Valentine is a middle-aged Liverpudlian housewife who talks to the wall whilst preparing her husband’s egg and chips. She is in a rut. What has happened to her life? When her best friend Jane pays for a holiday for two to Greece she packs her bags, heads for the sun and starts to see the world and herself rather differently. Willy Russell’s popular play Shirley Valentine received its world premiere in Liverpool in 1986. It opened in the West End two years later with Pauline Collins as the eponymous lead and went on to win the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Comedy. It was also given a hugely successful movie adaptation.
