"Shirley Valentine is the joyous, life-affirming story of the woman who got lost in marriage and motherhood, the woman who wound up talking to the kitchen wall whilst cooking her husband's chips and egg. But Shirley still has a secret dream. And in her bag, an airline ticket. One day she may just leave a note saying: 'Gone! Gone to Greece.'

The 2023 Duke of York's Theatre production of the Olivier award-winning, one-woman play written by Willy Russell, will star award-winning actress, Sheridan Smith.
