Shirley Valentine
PLAYING FROM 22 TO 25 OCTOBER 2025

Written by Willy Russell and directed by Lee Lewis this timeless West End and Broadway comedy will take you on a journey of self-discovery, laughter, and second chances.
Shirley is an unassuming housewife with a dream—and a passport. Talking to her kitchen wall, she dreams of escape and wonders what happened to the adventurous girl she once was.
When a friend invites her on a spontaneous holiday to Greece, Shirley takes a bold leap into the unknown. With humour, charm and grit, she rediscovers her passion for life and her sense of self. Will she return to her old ways, or will Shirley find a new life where she can finally be her true self?
With Natalie Bassingthwaighte’s magnetic charm and powerhouse performance, this one-woman tour de force will have you laughing, crying, and cheering for Shirley’s bold new chapter.
