SHIRLEY VALENTINE to be Presented at Metro Theatre in January
Shirley Valentine is a romantic comedy about a bored housewife with no job, few friends, kids who have flown the nest, and a monotonous marriage.
Metro Theatre will present Shirley Valentine by Willy Russell Thursday to Saturday, January 14 to January 29, 2023.
Shirley Valentine is a romantic comedy about a bored housewife with no job, few friends, kids who have flown the nest, and a monotonous marriage. When a friend invites Shirley on a trip to Greece it represents more than just two weeks in the sun. The prospect of such an adventure is fraught with anxiety for Shirley who is afraid that making a change won't lead to anything better. "So much of life is unused", says Shirley. The trip becomes a chance for Shirley to do something deliciously daring by ditching her apron, donning a bikini, and reclaiming abandoned dreams.
