nightclub singer who has put her troubled past behind her - or so she thinks.
Shirley runs The Pink Flamingo with the flamboyant female impersonator, Nicki
Piccadilly. But when Nicki hires a new waitress for the club, Shirley is forced
to confront the ghosts of her past. Shirley's Song is the last in a trilogy of plays featuring the character Shirley Sutton. Her story began in Twist & Shout [P 63] and continues in Runaway Girl [P 64]. The plays can each be performed in isolation. |
