Description | From the pen of Willy Russell (Educating Rita) and starring Logie winner (Prisoner) Glenda Linscott, Shirley Valentine tells the story of Mrs. Joe Bradshaw, an endearing middle-aged, working class Liverpool housewife, and her life before and after a transforming holiday abroad, full of sun, sand and sex. Wondering what happened to her fun loving self; feeling mundane, stagnant and in a rut in her home town of Liverpool, Shirley finds herself regularly talking to the wall while preparing her husband's chips 'n' egg, until her best friend wins a tripfor- two to Greece. |
