Shirley's life a lesson for former 'prisoner' Glenda
Shirley
Valentine is returning to Gardens
Theatre (July 3-5), and new leading lady Glenda Linscott
says playing the role of the popular Liverpuddlian housewife
who gets a new lease on life has tought her a thing or two
about her own life.
Glenda, who starred as tough bikie inmate
Rita 'The Beater' Connors in the cult TV series Prisoner,
says she connected with Shirley's struggle to be everything to
everyone - a mother, a housewife, a careerwoman - and still
have time for herself.
"It's an incredible thing for Shirley to
break out of that, and I'm learning by experiencing her
journey," Glenda said.
