Shirley Valentine
Kézdi Imola's one-woman show, Aradi Kamaraszínház Theatre
Shirley Valentine is a lively piece. Shirley, a Liverpool housewife (45), takes stock of what she has achieved in life and turns her life around (but can she?)
Shirley cooks dinner and tells stories – and her stories tell us what Freud got wrong, what Joe will say, what former schoolmates got him up to, what’s new with the kids, what lies you tell at the grocery store, what is mankind’s greatest invention, what real silk is like and where to meet Christopher Columbus. And finally, but more cheerfully: what it means to live bravely.
In this brilliant and entertaining one-woman-show, Imola Kézdi, Jászai Mari Award-winning, multiple UNITER Award-winning actress, takes the stage as Shirley, where she speaks freely about oppression, femininity and passing time with her unparalleled stage humour and intelligence.
