The iconic Sheridan Smith stars as the loveable Liverpudlian lass in Shirley Valentine!

This one woman show is a celebration and affirmation of freedom for women everywhere. Willy Russell’s classic monologue Shirly Valentine pays homage to one heroine who reclaims her dreams and finally puts herself first.

Led by the incredible multi-award-winning actress and singer Sheridan Smith, Shirley Valentine will be playing at the Duke of York’s Theatre for a limited 15 week run in early 2023!

Good old Shirley Valentine, a Liverpudlian lass who spends her days stuck in rumination as she tells all to the kitchen wall. Her past, her emotionally distant husband and her demanding kids have all led Shirley to feel stuck in time and far gone are the days of her youth, a period were she felt free and limitless. As she prepares ‘chips and egg’ she dares to dream, and longs for a way out. 

When an invitation to the idyllic islands of Greece crops up from her best friend, Shirley leaves a note and packs her bags for a fortnight of adventure. In her paradise she rediscovers everything that has been missing from her life in England. Her holiday is so good, that she may just not return…

Shirley Valentine is written by English dramatist Willy Russell (Blood Brothers, Educating Rita). The production will be directed by Matthew Dunster (2:22 – A Ghost Story) and will be produced by David Pugh, Pugh said: “Back in 1986 I was lucky enough to see the first ever production of Shirley Valentine in Liverpool. I have begged Willy to one day let me produce a revival.”
