shirley valentine
Mon, 24 May 2004, 12:44 pmi know i may be a softy but harbour theatre's production of the one-woman play "shirley valentine' really got to me!!
it was a little chilly in the princess may theatre (freo) but this did not stop my involvement with shirley, getting caught up in her struggle for identity and doing some of my own soul searching as a result:)
the burnt chips was an unexpected humour point!!
i would encourage everyone to see it if they can as this production was thoroughly enjoyed by its audience on opening night (21st May) and promises to shine for the rest of its season

Re: shirley valentine
I saw this show last night and was also thoroughly entertained, although I don't really identify with the character, being male and single.
It is difficult to believe that this insightful script was written by a man - or is Willy Russell really a woman? In any case, it was executed convincingly and delightfully by Rosemary.
The message of the play - that life is to be lived to the fullest - was not lost on me. Call me old fashioned though, but were all the middle-aged women in the audience really that impressed with Shirley, a middle-aged woman who liberally uses four-letter words and whose ultimate act of self-fulfilment is to shag a greek gigolo? I wonder.
Light, sound and set design were simple and well-executed. Patrons should take note that the show starts spot on 8 pm - I walked in 3 minutes late and the ticket office was closed. (Sorry, I'll pay next time).
