By: BWW News Desk Oct. 23, 2011
The Laguna Playhouse presents Shirley Valentine closing on October 23, 2011. The play is directed by Andrew Barnicle, who most recently directed The Laguna Playhouse's acclaimed production of Private Lives. Shirley Valentine stars Dee Dee Rescher, who has previously performed at The Playhouse in productions such as Red Herring, The Underpants and The Pursuit of Happiness.
Artistic Director, Anne Wareham offers "Shirley Valentine, wonderfully written by Willy Russell, is a deeply moving, funny and completely human play. As Shirley, Dee Dee Rescher, under the guidance of Andrew Barnicle, delivers a tour de force performance; beautiful and profound and endlessly entertaining."Described as a play filled with gems of wisdom, a good dose of laughter and a lot of poignancy, the story follows a middle-aged Liverpool housewife who finds herself in the rut of her dull daily life and in a loveless relationship with her husband. When her best friend wins a trip for two to Greece, she packs her bags, leaves a note on the kitchen table, and sets out on a journey toward independence and self-discovery.
