When a friend invites her on a spontaneous holiday to Greece, Shirley takes a bold leap into the unknown. With humour, charm and grit, she rediscovers her passion for life and her sense of self. Will she return to her old ways, or will Shirley find a new life where she can finally be her true self?
With Natalie Bassingthwaighte’s magnetic charm and powerhouse performance, this one-woman tour de force will have you laughing, crying, and cheering for Shirley’s bold new chapter.
