Nominated for Best Revival at the Olivier Awards 2024, Shirley Valentine is a heartwarming tale that follows a woman who has lost herself in marriage and motherhood. While she finds herself talking to the kitchen wall while cooking her husband's chips and egg, she harbours a secret dream. Hidden away in her bag is an airline ticket, a symbol of her desire to escape and pursue her passion.
One day, Shirley finds the courage to take a leap of faith and leave a note, announcing her departure to Greece. Willy Russell's celebrated one-woman play, originally premiered in 1986, has become an instant classic, winning the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and later being adapted into a successful film. This revised edition is being published to coincide with the 2023 revival, starring double Olivier Award and BAFTA winner Sheridan Smith.
Through Shirley's journey, the play explores the themes of love, self-discovery, and the pursuit of happiness. It reminds us that even in the midst of routine and responsibilities, it is essential to remember our true desires and to never lose sight of what makes us happy. Shirley's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the ability to find joy in the most unexpected places.
