Liza Goddard returns to Malvern Theatres to plays Betty a passionate, doting Mum who finds it hard to accept that her son is leaving home to get married in Kay Mellors' romantic comedy, A Passionate Woman.

On the morning of her son’s wedding, Betty retreats to her attic where she relives her long-lost youth and the love affair she had in the 1960s. Surrounded by her memories and ghosts from her past, Betty finds herself torn between a husband she never loved, a son about to leave and the man she shared a passionate affair with.

Director Paul Milton says: “A Passionate Woman is a real feel-good play. It has a Shirley Valentine flavour to it: lots of romance, comedy and charm. It’s set in the present day, but has flashbacks to the 1960s. The writer, Kay Mellor, is well-known to television audiences – she wrote The Syndicate, Band of Gold and In The Club!”

A Passionate Woman will be at Malvern Theatres from Tuesday, March 28 to Saturday, April 1. To book, call the box office on 01684 892277 or visit malvern-theatres.co.uk
