SUMMARY:Shirley Valentine
DESCRIPTION:Treat yourself to an evening of laugher\, triumph\, and a hilarious journey of rediscovery. \nNorma Sheahan\, one of Ireland’s leading dramatic actors\, returns to the Gaiety with her “sell-out performance” of Willy Russell’s effervescent and iconic character SHIRLEY VALENTINE. \nMeet Shirley\, a 45-year-old housewife\, trapped in a dreary marriage and humdrum life. As she prepares her husband’s dinner – egg and chips – Shirley wonders when she lost her hopeful\, youthful self. \nFeeling isolated\, she resorts to full-blown (although somewhat one-sided) conversations with her bestie – her kitchen wall and dreams of excitement beyond her grim role as “St. Joan of the fitted units”. \nSo\, when an unexpected chance to travel to Greece appears\, Shirley takes a leap\, digs deep into her flagging confidence and discovers it’s never too late to reclaim your dreams\, your joy\, and yourself. \nThe production promises laughter\, poignancy\, and an unforgettable evening with one of theatre’s most iconic characters. \nFirst performed in 1986\, this production marks the 40th Anniversary of the play. Its themes of self-discovery\, love\, and freedom continue to resonate powerfully with audiences today. Shirley Valentine has won an Olivier Award for Best Comedy\, a Tony Award for Best Play\, and inspired an Oscar-nominated film. \nThis iconic production directed by Michael Scott starring Norma Sheahan as Shirley\, returns to the Gaiety Theatre following its previous sell-out runs there. \nDirected By Michael Scott Designed By Michael McCaffery \nProduced by CTD:City Theatre Dublin and Mullingar Centre for the Performing Arts
