When you think of Shirley Valentine, most people would think of the popular movie from 1989 starring Pauline Collins in the title role, but did you know that Shirley Valentine is also a stage play? Well it is and it's written by Willy Russel. In fact the play was a 2 time Tony Award Nominee, before the successful movie was made.

Now Laughing Horse Productions and Koorliny Arts Centre are coming together in a community partnership to bring this classic production back to the stage. Starring Diana Oliver and directed by Adam Salathiel, this is a show that can be enjoyed by all. Be warned, this is a one woman show.



For those not familiar with the story, Shirley is married with 2 grown children. She is stuck in the rut of life, lacking hope and self-confidence bought about by marriage, school and life in general. She often finds herself talking to the wall while preparing her husband's meals, ruminating on her life. Upon receiving an unexpected invitation to Greece from a friend, Shirley escapes, only to have a whole new 'adventure' with a local Greek fisherman.

Although it's only a one woman show, Shirley Valentine is full of happy moments to make you smile, as well as moments that will have you thinking, 'I feel like that sometimes too'.

Shirley Valentine is on at the Koorliny Arts Centre for 5 shows only starting on September 5th. You can book your tickets now through www.koorliny.com.au
