Description
An ordinary middle-class housewife dreams of escaping her unappreciative husband to find romance and adventure in Greece. Does she have the courage, the nerve or the lingerie to fulfill her dreams? And if so, will she ever return? Winner of multiple Drama Desk, Tony and Olivier Awards.
Shirley Valentine opened in the West End in 1988 directed by Simon Callow and produced by Bob Swash. It went onto Broadway during 1990, marking Willy Russell's Broadway debut. This production starred Pauline Collins, who like Julie Walters in Educating Rita, went on to play Shirley in the film version.
