Listen in as Shirley
(Pauline Collins, Bleak House)
confides to her kitchen wall that
she longs to be ?the girl who used
to be me.? A middle-aged Liverpool
housewife, she dreams of a holiday
in Greece but feels doomed to a
mundane existence with her gruff
and insensitive husband Joe, whose
main concern is the evening meal.
An accidental meeting with a
former schoolmate (Joanna Lumley,
Absolutely Fabulous) confirms
Shirley?s sense of lost identity. When
a chum wins an all-expenses-paid
trip for two to Greece, Shirley lives
her fantasy of watching the sunset,
?drinking wine in a land where the grapes are grown? and attempting to
resist the charms of the rakish local, Costas (Tom Conti, Reuben, Reuben).
Willy Russell has adapted his Tony? Award-winning play, and Pauline
Collins has recreated her Tony? and BAFTA? Award-winning role. Plot your
seaside escape and enjoy the impressive performances.
