The Plays
The bored middle-class housewife - Shirley - gets the opportunity of a lifetime - a girls holiday to Greece.
No one thought she had the courage. The nerve. Or the Lingerie.
A comedy and poignant play by Willy Russell.
‘I think sex is like supermarkets, just a lot of pushing and shoving, and you still come out with very little in the end’.
‘Marriage is like the Middle East - no solution’.
"The Alder, Stage Company Production presentation of this classic female monologue is delightful.
Nancy Schroder portrays Shirley Valentine perfectly earning a glowing review from The Press the next day.
We will definitely look to bring this production back."
