Friel’s bawdy, vital and compassionate play deals with Cass McGuire, an Irish-American exile returning to Ireland after fifty years. It is her dream to rekindle some of the memories of her homeland she left behind. Her genteel family does not have the same enthusiasm for her return.

This intriguing play has been described as a “gentle romantic comedy”, filled with colourful characters. It is a play of sentiment and wit, which according to the New York Post exhibits “ the rueful imagination of the true Irish poet”.

John Bosco McLaine is a man who has never lain down with a woman, but has had romantic blood pulsing through his veins all his life. Always an optimist, and virgin in equal measure, he embarks on a search for an ideal companion regardless of age, failure rate or dammed advice!… and in a community where advice is ample and women few, he follows his heart in an ultimate bid to procure himself a wife. 

Often referred to as the natural successor to John B Keane as Ireland’s masterful present day storyteller, Seamus O’Rourke brings to life in this production the wistful, blundering, romantic John Bosco McLean, matching stride for stride Keane’s fantastic wit and way with words in  an uproarious evening of laughter, love,  hope and desire…

Shirley Valentine is a witty, moving one-woman play that follows Shirley, a middle-aged Liverpool housewife, as she reflects on her life while preparing dinner in her kitchen. Trapped in a routine and feeling invisible within her marriage, she confides in the wall—her only consistent listener—sharing humorous and deeply honest observations about family, relationships, and the quiet loss of her own identity over the years.

When her outspoken friend Jane invites her on a spontaneous trip to Greece, Shirley is forced to confront the fears and habits that have kept her stuck. Torn between duty and desire, she begins to rediscover the adventurous, vibrant woman she once was, questioning whether it’s ever too late to change her life.

Blending sharp comedy with heartfelt insight, Shirley Valentine is a powerful and relatable story about self-discovery, courage, and the importance of reclaiming your sense of self—no matter your age.
