Shirley Valentine
Shirley Valentine
Shirley Valentine is the joyous, life-affirming story of the woman who got lost in marriage and motherhood, the woman who wound up talking to the kitchen wall whilst cooking her husband's chips and egg. But Shirley still has a secret dream. And in her bag, an airline ticket. One day she may just leave a note saying: 'Gone! Gone to Greece.'
Shirley Valentine is the celebrated one-woman play written by Willy Russell, winning him his third Olivier Award. Sheridan Smith is a multi-award-winning actress with two Olivier Awards and a BAFTA. Matthew Dunster is a three-time Olivier Award nominated director whose work most recently has been seen on Broadway with Martin McDonagh's Hangmen and in the West End with 2:22 by Danny Robins.

I knew Sheridan Smith was an amazing actress and loved all her TV Performances, but she is spectacular in The role of Shirley Valentine, bringing to life the character of not only Shirley but every body else’s characters as she delivers this one woman show , telling the story of the loveless wife who has lost her identity after her family have left home., relatable to many middle aged wives and mothers. Her performance leaves you laughing and in the next minute crying as she describes her loveless marriage. The most amazing show I have seen

I go to the theatre a lot and not once have I seen the whole audience all stand up at once and applaud - with very very good reason. Sheridan Smith was just amazing, the whole production was.

The concept of this being delivered by one person was brilliantly executed by Sheridan Smith, good script being delivered with great empathy.

I attended the performance on 15th March Attended with two women friends who are not from Liverpool. Student at Liverpool College of Art at the time when the Everyman was established and taught later in Kirby so I was familiar with the language. I savoured William Russells text and we all thought Willy R must have been confident in Sheridan Smith to present the role. She was fabulous in delivery. Would love a recorded detail, so much to take in and immensely funny.

Sheridan Smith does not play a role she is Shirley Valentine! One of the best solo performances we have ever seen. You will laugh, you will cry… ultimately you will think about life! Bloody brilliant and outstanding production.
