Starring NICOLA CAVENDISH

“I’d fallen in love with the idea of livin’.”

Deep within Mrs. Joe Bradshaw, the former Shirley Valentine is longing to escape. Now an ordinary, middle-aged, Liverpool housewife, she shares her deepest thoughts with a kitchen wall. But when her best friend wins a trip for two to Greece, life becomes anything but ordinary and Shirley has the greatest love affair of all—with herself. This hilarious and uplifting comedy proves that it’s never too late to live the life of your dreams.

Nicola Cavendish IS Shirley Valentine. I saw her play the role over 20 years ago and was mesmerized.  Now she revives it with a new understanding of this wonderful housewife. You’ll laugh even louder and connect with her even more deeply. Nicola is one of the great actors of our country. It’s truly an honour to welcome her back. –Dennis
