Shirley Valentine

Shirley Valentine is the story of an unfulfilled middle age housewife from Liverpool lamenting her mundane existence and her stagnant marriage. She offers wry observations on the realities of life as she gets up enough nerve to leave the claustrophobic confines of her kitchen for the romance and adventure of Greece. Beautifully written, the audience actually lives vicariously through Shirley, all the while rooting for her transformation.
