The Riverbank Arts centre presents Mary McEvoy (Glenroe) in
her one woman performance of a very troubled lady. Meet Shirley, a
45 year old housewife. Trapped in a humdrum reality she wonders when
she lost her hopeful, youthful self. Isolated and lonely, she has resorted
to full blown (although somewhat one-sided) conversations with her
walls. There is no support from her demanding husband, her snooty neighbour,
or self-absorbed grown children. So when a divorced friend wins a two
week vacation to Greece in a magazine contest, and ask Shirley to accompany
her, she gathers what remains of her dignity and begins a humorous
and uplifting voyage of rediscovery – but
will she ever return?
This hilarious drama is Directed by Michael Scott and Designed
by Michael McCaffery
