AUDITION NOTICE -
SHIRLEY VALENTINE by Willy Russell
directed by Susan Cameron
Riccarton Players are on the lookout for two fabulous women to share the stage in our upcoming production of Shirley Valentine by Willy Russell, directed by Susan Cameron — and this could be your moment to shine!
This warm, witty, and deeply moving one-woman classic follows Shirley, a Liverpool housewife who’s been talking to the kitchen wall a bit too long… until a spontaneous trip to Greece changes everything. Sun, self-discovery, laughter, courage, romance — and one unforgettable journey back to herself.
