Shirley Valentine
Saturday, August 15, 2009 @ 7:30 PM: Millbrook Playhouse
Cost: $8-$18 with season passes available
Category: Great Date;Theater
August 6 - August 16 Cabaret at the Millbook Playhouse. From the author of "Educating Rita" comes this hilariously engaging one woman tour de force. Shirley's a middle-aged English housewife, who finds herself talking to the wall while she prepares her husband's chip'n'egg, wondering what happened to her life. She compares scenes in her current life with what she used to be like and feels she's in a rut. When her best friend wins an all-expenses-paid vacation to Greece for two, Shirley begins to see the world, and herself, in a different light. No one thought she had the courage. The nerve. Or the lingerie. Showtimes are Wednesday through Friday 7:30pm with two shows Aug. 9 at 2pm and 7:30pm, and a closing matinee Aug. 16 at 2pm.
