Sheridan Smith makes her long-awaited return to the West End stage in 2023, starring in Willy Russell’s uplifting rom-com Shirley Valentine . Smith delivers a joyful performance as the unappreciated housewife who jets off to Greece at the Duke of York’s Theatre . 

Shirley Valentine is a housewife who talks to the kitchen walls as she cooks her husband’s egg and chips.

Shirley throws down her cooking utensils in favour of a sunny escape to the Mediterranean, and begins a life-changing adventure.

Shirley Valentine review – Sheridan Smith disarms and dazzles with heart and soul

Duke of York’s theatre, London Willy Russell’s 1986 monologue about a neglected woman’s midlife liberation is given new life in this perceptive production

W illy Russell’s 1986 monologue was a forerunner to the Thelma and Louise era of women who find a second lease of life in middle age. Almost four decades on, its portrait of a Liverpudlian housewife’s transformational trip to the Greek island of her dreams could so easily feel dated.

What is striking about Matthew Dunster’s production is that it leans into the sense of a bygone time and is deceptively passé at the start. There are references to the Milk Tray Man, the drachma and the EEC. Jane, who invites Shirley (Sheridan Smith) on a holiday to Crete, is branded a feminist because she has divorced her husband. Paul Wills’s 80s kitchen set mirrors the pastel colour scheme of Shirley’s mint trousers and pink bat-winged top.

It looks like a poundshop Alan Bennett as Shirley giggles conspiratorially with her glass of wine and talks to herself – and to her kitchen wall. The comedy is of the Saturday night kind with lukewarm, slightly predictable punchlines. She tells us marriage is like the Middle East (“there’s no solution”) and that sex is like going to the supermarket because after all the pushing and shoving you come out with very little.

The light and froth is a cunning trick, the play’s core crisis revealing itself in measures. When it does, it feels real and painful. The deeper, existential elements are powered by Smith’s disarming and quietly dazzling performance. She mines every ounce of cheeky comedy but also builds such surreptitious and organic emotional undercurrents that we buy every moment, and the play is eternally relevant.

Shirley is a woman so lonely she has taken to talking to a wall; a wife and mother who has lost her identity in dutifulness, and a pragmatist who long ago learned to turn her life’s disappointments into jokes.

Slowly the play reveals itself to be about identity, ageing, how we betray our own dreams and become people we don’t recognise, and how we tolerate unhappiness for fear of the unknown.

Russell’s script shows a deep and compassionate understanding of a certain kind of working-class woman at a certain age (though 42 seems rather premature for a midlife crisis now). She is judged not only by the men around her but women too – positively at times – though her daughter tells her that two middle-aged women going to Greece is “disgusting”.

In the second act, Wills’s set now a gorgeous abstraction of glowing pink and blue skies, Shirley’s feelgood message to value every minute of life does not sound mawkish when delivered by Smith. Shirley decides to have a bigger, fuller life and reminds us to do so too. Yes, it is too light and romantic a picture of midlife liberation but it gives us the shivers nonetheless.

Like Russell’s play Educating Rita, this is a work we know better through film, but Smith brings its heart and soul back to the theatre.

At the Duke of York’s theatre, London , until 3 June

About Shirley Valentine

Sheridan Smith plays a middle-aged housewife with big dreams in Willy Russell's one-woman play. Shirley Valentine tickets are available now on London Theatre.

On the surface, all seems well for Liverpudlian housewife Shirley Valentine: she’s married, she has children, and she lives the "dream." But her husband shows little affection towards her. As she spends her days cooking her husband’s favourite meal — chips and egg — Shirley dreams of more.

So when she and her friend go to Greece, Shirley sees this as a chance to start again. While on holiday, she meets local man Costas and begins to see the world in a new light. Will she book a return ticket? Shirley Valentine is an ode to owning your own happiness and keeping your fighting spirit.

Willy Russell is perhaps best known for the Blood Brothers musical. Blood Brothers ran in the West End for 24 years, clocking up over 10,000 performances. As well as the musical, Russell created Educating Rita, Our Day Out , and One Summer . Shirley Valentine also wowed London audiences, winning the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy. Pauline Collins also played the lead female on screen; the film picked up two Academy Award nominations.

Who plays Shirley Valentine?

Sheridan Smith will play Shirley Valentine. The two-time Olivier Award-winning actress’s theatre credits include Funny Girl, Hedda Gabler , and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat . Her television credits include the award-winning turn as Cilla Black in Cilla, as well as Gavin and Stacey and Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps.

Tickets to Shirley Valentine are available now. Book your Shirley Valentine tickets on London Theatre today.

Shirley Valentine with Sheridan Smith reviews

Reviews have dropped for the West End production of Shirley Valentine in London with Sheridan Smith – what did the critics make of it?

Willy Russell’s one-woman-play has been revived with acclaimed actress Sheridan Smith making her return to the West End in the role.

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 new production officially opened at the Duke of York’s Theatre this week and the reviews are out…

Shirley Valentine London reviews

The Guardian- 4/5 “The deeper, existential elements are powered by Smith’s disarming and quietly dazzling performance. She mines every ounce of cheeky comedy but also builds such surreptitious and organic emotional undercurrents that we buy every moment, and the play is eternally relevant.” – Read the full review

The Independent – 5/5 “Sheridan Smith and Shirley Valentine: it’s a match made in theatre heaven. Willy Russell’s 1986 one-woman play is a beloved British classic; Smith is a national treasure. It sounds like it should work, and it really, really does” – Read the full review

Financial Times – 5/5 “Smith single-handedly commands the stage in a transcendent performance as the disillusioned Liverpool housewife determined to unstick herself from a life glued to the kitchen.” – Read the full review

Daily Mail – 5/5 “So loved is Smith as Shirley that when she appears before the interval with suitcase and dressed for the airport, the sight of her costume alone wins a cheer. ” – Read the full review

The I- 4/5 “It’s a mighty ask for one performer to power through more than a hundred minutes of solo speaking on a West End stage, but one of Smith’s many triumphs is the way she looks up and around to make every tier of the audience feel so included.” – Read the full review

London Evening Standard – 4/5 “Willy Russell’s award-winning and hugely popular 1986 monologue about a Liverpool housewife finding herself in Greece now looks like a museum piece. It requires Smith’s specific talents to make it work and she turns it into a charming showcase for them” – Read the full review

The Telegraph – 4/5 “If we loved Smith before, we’re going to fall in love with her all over again. Playing a woman turning over a new leaf, she bustles about her spotless kitchen with consummate ease and vivacity, confiding her manifold unfulfilments as a wife and mother by way of a quirky address to the “wall”. It’s continuously enrapturing.” – Read the full review

Shirley Valentine plays Duke of York’s Theatre, London currently booking through to 3 June 2023.

SHIRLEY VALENTINE.

Trapped in a dreary marriage and humdrum life, Shirley wonders when she lost her hopeful, youthful self.

With no support from her demanding husband, snooty neighbour, or self-absorbed teens, Shirley resorts to full-blown (although somewhat one-sided) conversations with her kitchen wall.

So, when a divorced friend asks Shirley to go on a vacation to Greece, she bravely gathers what remains of her dignity and begins a humorous and uplifting voyage of rediscovery.

Shirley with ever-opening eyes, begins to see the world – and herself – in a different light…

but will she ever go back to being “St Joan of the fitted units”?

Shirley Valentine

• Captioned Performance
• BSL Interpreted

By Willy Russell

Sally Reid reprises her award-winning ‘outstanding’ performance as Shirley Valentine in Willy Russell’s iconic play.    

Shirley Valentine is a celebration of women, freedom and what it means to find yourself again. We meet Shirley, a bored, middle-aged wife and mother as she contemplates what has happened to her youth. She feels lonely, disenchanted and in a rut. Her children are all grown up and she’s stuck at home with only the kitchen wall to talk to. Shirley dreams of a better life, free from the chains of her domestic boredom and an unappreciative husband.  

When her best friend suggests a trip to Greece, Shirley packs her bags, leaves a note on the cupboard door and heads off for a fortnight of rest and relaxation.   

In Greece, she meets Costas, rediscovers herself, finds happiness and everything she has been missing. She realises that there is more to life than the dull, mundane existence she leads back home. Now, Shirley has a big decision to make.  

Sally Reid received an Outstanding Performance award for her role in Shirley Valentine from the Critics’ Awards for Theatre in Scotland.

“Reid has the comic muscle to bring in the big laughs, but also the control to draw us in to Shirley’s most vulnerable secrets. Long before the play’s escapist release, she has turned us into intimates. Her insecurities, almost whispered, are ours. She is devastatingly good.” The Guardian

“At its heart, and quite beautifully captured by Sally Reid in an understated but glorious performance, is a timeless quest for the human right to be ourselves, rather than what society demands that we be. And in Shirley Valentine that story is told by a woman of such self-deprecating wit and charisma that no audience can resist her; particularly when she is played by an actress who also perfectly embodies those qualities, and who is rightly cheered to the echo, as Shirley’s story reaches its happy end, and perhaps a new beginning.”  The Scotsman
