When he's angry, Shirley says, Joe talks to the refrigerator, but things weren't always this way which has her wondering what happened to them and to the youthful girl with the maiden name of Valentine who used to dream of travelling. Shirley find herself trapped by the walls which become her closest confidant when unkind husband Joe ignores her except to yell when his dinner's not on time. The latest Shirley Valentine is the delightful and engaging Judith Ivey at Long Wharf Theater. It won multiple awards and has been staged all over the world, as well as made into a film. This solo comedy has been entertaining audiences and giving actresses an opportunity to display their comedic skills since its 1986 premiere. Welcome to yet another production of Willy Russell's Shirley Valentine. Midlife is pretty dull for a middle-aged Liverpool housewife used to talking to the four walls - until she trades them for a rock, and her husband for a romantic lover on a Greek beach.
