직장에 나가는 남편과, 이제는 다 자라 자신의 길을 걸어가고 있는 자녀를 둔 평범한 40대 주부 '셜리'는 내세우고 자랑할 것은 없지만 그렇다고 가난하거나 부족한 것도 없는 평범한 주부이다. 쇼핑과 요리와 가정 이외에는 새로운 관심사를 찾아내지 못하던 셜리는 마침내 과감하게 2주간의 휴가를 계획하며 그리스로 떠나는데… 한 40대 중년 여성이 소극적이고 무능하게 느껴지는 현재의 삶에서 자신의 정체성을 찾아 나가는 과정을 코믹하고 감동적으로 그린 작품으로, 카메라를 정면으로 바라보고 관객을 향해 방백하는 연극적 기법을 자주 사용한다. 아름다운 그리스 섬의 풍광과 함께, 그리스 남성과의 짧은 로맨스 그리고 씩씩하고 용감하게 자신감을 되찾아가는 셜리 발렌타인의 모습이 유쾌하게 그려진다. 영국이 나은 극작가 윌리 러셀의 희곡 "셜리 발렌타인(Shirley Valentine)"이 원작이 된 작품이다. 런던비평가상(1974), 골든글러브상(1984), 이보르노벨르상(1985)등을 수상한 윌리 러셸은 뛰어난 극작가이면서 연극 연출가이자 배우이기도 하다. 교육대학을 졸업했으면서도 미용사, 창고노동자, 포크송 작곡가, 가수 등 다양한 직업적 편력을 겪은 그는 "리타 길들이기"를 비롯하여 "의형제"라는 제목으로 번안된 "블러드 브라더스"를 통해서 우리에게도 친근한 작가로 알려져 있다. "셜리 발렌타인(Shirley Valentine)"은 그의 대표적인 작품의 하나로, 일상적 삶의 권태에서 탈출하고자 하는 한 중년 여성을 등장시켜, 의미 없는 삶에 대한 각성과 자신의 정체성을 찾아 나서는 한 인간의 심층을 강력하고 섬세하게 묘사해 놓은 뛰어난 작품이다. 현대 사회의 모순과 보편적인 인간의 정체성이 어떤 것이어야 하는지를 극명하게 깨달을 수 있는 내용으로, 국내에서는 김혜자 씨 주연의 연극으로도 많이 알려진 바 있다.
