Shurl

A totally captivating one-woman show! Born into a poor Welsh mining community in the fifties, Shurl’s childhood is steeped in tradition and folklore. But when she faces her first crisis at the tender age of six, it’s the great Dame Shirley Bassey who seems to save her – and not just the once! Can she survive alone, though, when her meeting with the international diva doesn’t quite go to plan?

This fantastic tale of our Shurl from the Valleys was the surprise gem of Prague Fringe just weeks ago. ‘A true diamond of Prague Fringe 2013.’ EdFringe reviewed the show as, ‘Story-telling at its very best....perfectly-pitched. Sad and sweet and beautiful all at once. A voice redolent of fireside chats and forest fires.’ What more could you want on a midsummer day!

Laugh and cry with ‘Our Shurl’ before she transfers to New York and Boston (for real!). This may be your one and only chance to catch Shurl here in Ventnor, Isle of Wight, England before she goes global! No ‘wannabe’ here – this woman is the real thing, from start to finish!
