West End Productions is once again taking a Greek vacation with 鈥淪hirley Valentine.鈥�

The production was the West End鈥檚 inaugural show in 2016, and the theater company is revisiting it a decade later. 鈥淪hirley Valentine鈥� opens Friday, May 29, and runs through Sunday, June 14.

鈥淭he show follows Shirley Valentine, a woman in her mid-40s who feels stuck in a rut and lost in her relationship with her husband,鈥� Jessica Osbourne, who is playing Shirley, said.

鈥淪he鈥檚 given the opportunity to go on holiday with a friend of hers, and her husband鈥檚 a bit controlling, so she鈥檚 a bit scared to go, but she takes the leap and she goes anyway,鈥� Osbourne said.

Shirley goes through a journey of discovering her own power and herself outside her family and marriage, Osbourne said. An over-50-page monologue, the one-woman show is a funny and relatable story that features Shirley talking to her kitchen wall and a rock in Greece, she said.

Colleen Neary McClure, West End Productions artistic director, said audiences shouldn鈥檛 be misled by the title 鈥淪hirley Valentine鈥� and said the play is relatable to everyone.

鈥淢en will identify with this character as well, even though it鈥檚 a female perspective,鈥� McClure said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 about people who feel like they have maybe missed the boat.鈥�

She said audiences who have felt their youthful ideas slip away will understand Shirley and the desire to take control.

The play is in two acts, with the first staged in Shirley鈥檚 kitchen as she monologues about her life and whether she will go to Greece. The second act is set with Shirley in Greece.

鈥淭he whole set is on a turntable,鈥� McClure said. 鈥淲hich starts off in the kitchen, and in Act 2, it鈥檚 turned around for her to be in Greece.鈥�

McClure was the director for the first iteration of the show in 2016, and Osbourne is reprising her role as Shirley. McClure said a decade later, Osbourne is as funny as ever, and she is bringing an even greater understanding of the character to the stage.

鈥淚 feel like it鈥檚 going to be so much stronger and more poignant this time, since she has such a strong connection,鈥� McClure said.

Osbourne said this time around, she is the same age as Shirley, who is in her 40s, going through perimenopause and all the emotions, insecurity and changes that come with it.

鈥淐oming to it from that perspective of point of life has sort of added a new level of layer for me,鈥� Osbourne said.

She said it has been a funny journey seeing the roller coaster Shirley goes through.

鈥淚t鈥檚 sort of her riding all of those waves at once, and then coming out on the other side,鈥� Osbourne said.

When Osbourne first played the role, she was going through a divorce. Now, she finds herself using age to connect, which she said has made her more attuned to Shirley overall.

鈥淣ow, it鈥檚 a journey of the personal, whereas before it was a journey of the relationship,鈥� Osbourne said.
