Shirley runs the best pub you’ve ever been to, a place where laughter is abundant, stories are shared, and connections are made.
Lovingly tended by the women in her family and invigorated by big anthems on the karaoke, Shirley faces a crisis when she discovers plans to sell the pub, threatening to unravel everything.
In a whirlwind of self-discovery, Shirley re-examines her relationship with her body, questions the power she holds, and confronts her own complicity in the process.
Her story is an electrifying exploration of identity, agency, and womanhood, told with raw honesty, infectious humour, and music from some of our favourite divas.
Immerse yourself in the sharply real and wildly fantastical world of ‘SHIRLEY,’ where every night is a night to remember.
