"I'd like to drink a glass of wine in a country
where the grape is grown.
Sittin' by the sea. Lookin' at the sun...."
Threadbare Theatre
Company presents Willy Russell's Shirley
Valentine starring Ruth Redman and
directed by Lucy Linger.
Shirley Valentine is a character we can all
relate to. “Exuding boredom from every pore,
with the chewy going all day” as a kid, she
marries, has kids and suddenly finds she is in
her 40s and has absolutely no idea who she is,
or what she's doing. Preparing her fella's tea,
talking to the wall, her life is suddenly turned
upside down when her friend Jane offers her a
chance to holiday in Greece for two weeks.
Shirley has always dreamed of travel but husband
Joe “gets culture shock if we go to Chester”.
Shirley must decide if she can bear to miss out
on her chance for an experience of a lifetime…
and can you?
