Experience the San Miguel Playreaders’ love for theater through their staged reading on the Teatro Santa Ana.

Shirley Valentine is a one-character play by Willy Russell. Taking the form of a monologue by a middle-aged, working class, Liverpool housewife, it echoes with uncanny familiarity the internal dialogue of lives half lived, choices not quite made and longings muffled under layers of
insidious resignation.

Shirley is a fighter and buoyed by an irrepressible sense of irony and humor, her daily dialogues with the kitchen wall (which evidences listening skills vastly superior to those of her “feller”) eventually lead her to the realization that the unthinkable is in fact not
only thinkable but necessary.

Her voyage from prisoner to architect of her own life is one that we are eager to share. There’s a lesson here. And happy endings.

SMA Playreader’s Shirley Valentine stars Susan Rushton. Lights and sound are handled by
Miguel Torres, Roger Johns is the teleprompter operator and Marthe Fraser directs.
