Sheridan Smith to star in West End revival of SHIRLEY VALENTINE

It has been announced that Sheridan Smith will star in a West End revival of Willy Russell’s much loved play, Shirley Valentine.

The show is set to open in the West End next year but no dates or theatre have been confirmed yet.

This one-character production takes the form of a monologue by a middle-aged, working class housewife from Liverpool, which focuses on her dissatisfaction with life before a transformative foreign holiday.

The role of Shirley Valentine was made famous by actress Pauline Collins when it was made into a film in 1989.
