Be transported to sunny Greece with this beloved northern comedy!

Mina Anwar stars in the title role in Willy Russell’s heart-warming one-woman comedy.

Housewife Shirley feels stuck in a rut and frustrated now that the kids have flown the nest. Whilst making egg and chips for her husband, she can’t help but wonder what has happened to her life…

When the opportunity arises to leave her hometown behind for a holiday in Greece, she is off! Leaving a note on the kitchen table, Shirley heads to the sun to rediscover herself.

From the writer of Blood Brothers and Educating Rita, this critically acclaimed romantic comedy was made into an Oscar-nominated film starring Pauline Collins and Tom Conti.

By special arrangement with the Octagon Theatre Bolton, for a limited season only. Willy Russell’s Shirley Valentine with Mina Anwar. Directed by Lotte Wakeham.
