Shirley Valentine

Longford · 14 Nov 2026

Summary 01 / 02
Event

Shirley Valentine

Meet Shirley, a 45-year-old housewife, trapped in a dreary marriage and humdrum life. As she prepares her husband’s dinner – egg and chips – Shirley wonders when she lost her hopeful, youthful self. Feeling isolated, she resorts to full-blown (although somewhat one-sided) conversations with her bestie – her kitchen wall and dreams of excitement beyond her grim role as “St. Joan of the fitted units”.

So, when an unexpected chance to travel to Greece appears, Shirley takes a leap, digs deep into her flagging confidence and discovers it’s never too late to reclaim your dreams, your joy, and yourself. The production promises laughter, poignancy, and an unforgettable evening with one of theatre’s most iconic characters.
