About this event

Treat yourself to an evening of laugher, triumph, and a hilarious journey of rediscovery. Norma Sheahan, one of Ireland’s leading dramatic actors, returns to the Gaiety with her “sell-out performance”

of Willy Russell’s effervescent and iconic character SHIRLEY VALENTINE.

Meet Shirley, a 45-year-old housewife, trapped in a dreary marriage and humdrum life. As she prepares her husband’s dinner – egg and chips – Shirley wonders when she lost her hopeful, youthful self.

Feeling isolated, she resorts to full-blown (although somewhat one-sided) conversations with her bestie – her kitchen wall and dreams of excitement beyond her grim role as “St. Joan of the fitted units”.

Readers are advised to check with the venue before relying on the details published here.
