Shirley Valentyn (± 2 ure)

Wenner van die gewildheidsprys by die ABSA KKNK en Aardklop, sowel as ‘n Fleur du Cap-toekenning.

Sy’s terug! Na meer as eenhonderd vertonings landwyd kom maak Shirley weer 'n draai in die Kaap. Haar reis van onderdrukte huisvrou tot 'n volwaardige Shirley Valentyn is steeds een van die roerendste, mees eerlike ervarings wat tans op die Suid Afrikaanse verhoog te sien is.

‘Dit is min dat ’n mens Surtie-Richards in só ’n nommerpas rol beleef met ’n vertolking wat ’n mens vir ’n tweede keer na die kaartjieskantoor wil laat hardloop.’ Beeld

'Die essensie van menswees word in hierdie stuk met deernis en eerlikheid vasgevat. In hierdie opsig is dit ’n inspirasie; as verhoogstuk ’n onvergeetlike ­er­varing.' Die Burger

'Shirley Valentyn... is one of the finest productions I have ever seen.
' Artsmart

'It's a magical play that reaches its target audience through humour, draws them in and silences them with pathos...' Pretoria News
