Shirley Valentine

British actress Nancy Schroder is Shirley Valentine and performs especially for you at the Opera House.

This poignant and very funny comedy was written by English playwright Willy Russell (Educating Rita, Blood Brothers)

Shirley Valentine has received rave reviews wherever it has played.

 “This touring production features a dynamic, delectable performance by Nancy Schroder, a realistic kitchen set, and a dreamlike Greek beach set, brilliantly lit my Michael Knapp.  Who wouldn’t wind up shouting her a trip…she’s so much fun.

"If you missed it, try and catch it in a nearby town, it’s a classic, beautifully remade” Gail Pittaway, Waikato Times

Nancy says of the role “Shirley is such a wonderful character, full of wit and insight, and very quirky. She really is a joy to play. The play is a bit naughty…adult if you like…and both men & women seem to enjoy the humour equally”.

Nancy is looking forward to performing in Wellington at the wonderful The Opera House “this is such a beautiful theatre, it’s so great to perform in such well equipped theatres around the country, that are alive and flourishing”

The set & lighting design, has been created by the acclaimed Michael Knapp (Opera Australia) who will once again weave his magic here in Wellington for 'Shirley'.
