Treat yourself to an evening of laugher, triumph, and a hilarious journey of rediscovery. Norma Sheahan, one of Ireland’s leading dramatic actors, comes to An Táin with her “sell-out performance” of iconic character Shirley Valentine.
Meet Shirley, a 45-year-old housewife, trapped in a dreary marriage and humdrum life. As she prepares her husband’s dinner – egg and chips – Shirley wonders when she lost her hopeful, youthful self. Feeling isolated, she resorts to full-blown (although somewhat one-sided) conversations with her bestie – her kitchen wall and dreams of excitement beyond her grim role as “St. Joan of the fitted units”.
So, when an unexpected chance to travel to Greece appears,Shirley takes a leap, digs deep into her flagging confidence and discovers it’s never too late to reclaim your dreams, your joy, and yourself.
