“Shirley Valentine”
A Staged Reading of the Play By Willy Russell
Performed by the actress Primi Townsend (pictured right)
Directed by Julie Fitzpatrick
April 4th @ 2pm
Guilford Library, 67 Park Street, Guilford
“Shirley Valentine” is a warm, funny, and deeply moving one-woman play about an ordinary Liverpool housewife who begins to question the life she has settled into. Talking to her kitchen wall as she prepares her husband’s chips and egg, Shirley reflects on the spirited girl she once was and the routine that now defines her days. When a friend invites her on a spontaneous holiday, Shirley considers a bold step…Both hilarious and heartfelt, the play celebrates self-discovery, second chances, and the power of dreaming.
