Towle Theater to Present "Shirley Valentine"
The 12th Season opens with the one-woman comedy Shirley Valentine staring Suzanne Nyhan. Patrons may remember Suzanne from her stirring performance as Elizabeth Hardy in Good Boys and True. Shirley Valentine is a middle-aged, working class Liverpool housewife. Feeling stagnant and in a rut, Shirley finds herself regularly talking to the wall while preparing her husband's chips and egg. When she goes on holiday to Greece, she finds romance and a new awareness of who she is and what her existence can be with just a little effort on her part. A movie based on the play was released in 1989 staring Pauline Collins. Shirley Valentine runs February 27-March 15, 2015.
