Meera Syal stars as Shirley Valentine Written by acclaimed writer Willy Russell Shirley Valentine is a middle-aged Liverpool housewife, who reveals her innermost thoughts and fears in a manner that is both insouciant and poignant. Once an incorrigible anti-establishment rebel, Shirley now chafes under the plodding insensitivity of her husband, Joe and the stultifying pace of her suburban routine. Her life enters a new and exciting phase when, after her best friend, Jane, wins an all-expenses-paid vacation to Greece, Shirley is given the opportunity to travel to faraway places without her husband; she begins to see the world, and herself, in a different light. Producer: Clive Brill A Pacificus production First broadcast:  Sat 18th Dec 2010 14:30 on BBC Radio 4 FM
