Shirley Valentine is a taken-for-granted middle-aged housewife with indulged children and a self-involved husband. She is caught in a menopausal rut; she finds herself talking to the kitchen wall while cooking her husband’s supper.
Then a frisky girlfriend wins an all-expenses-paid holiday for two to Greece and invites Shirley along. The journey to Greece echoes Shirley’s personal journey of affirmation and discovery, and after a fortnight in the sun, she begins to see the world, and herself, in a different light.
Lisa Bobbert reprises her 2008 role as the bored housewife who flees the nest in this Steven Stead directed production. Design is by Greg King, with lighting design by Tina le Roux.
The play runs from 11-22 September at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre.

Shirley Valentine followed the similar-themed film, Educating Rita.
