A event on Friday 2nd July. The event starts at 20:00.
Middle aged, working class, Liverpudlian housewife Shirley is alone again. And talking to the kitchen wall. Again.
The kids had flown the nest and her emotionally distant husband is on his way home for his tea of egg and chips.
Where has her life disappeared to?
Out of the blue, her best friend offers her an all expenses paid trip to Greece for 2 weeks. So she packs her bags and leaves her husband a note on the kitchen table...

"A powerful and thought- provoking piece of theatre which is bold, entertaining and thoroughly lives up to the high expectations I have of this young company" - 5 STARS (Sarah-Jane Howard - 365 Bristol)
