THIS week readers have the opportunity to win tickets to see a show at Edinburgh's King's Theatre which has won a lot of plaudits.

Shirley Valentine is at the King's from Tuesday May 30 to Saturday June 3 and we have a pair of tickets up for grabs for the opening night.

Shirley is a Liverpool housewife. Her kids have left home and she makes chips and egg for her husband while talking to the wall. Where has her life disappeared to?

Wondering what has happened to her youth and feeling stagnant and in a rut, Shirley finds herself regularly alone and talking to the wall while preparing an evening meal of egg and chips for her emotionally distant husband. When her best friend offers to pay for a trip-for-two to Greece, she packs her bags, leaves a note on the cupboard door in the kitchen, and heads for a fortnight of rest and relaxation.

In Greece, with just a little effort on her part, she rediscovers everything she had been missing about her existence in England. She finds so much happiness, in fact, that when the vacation is over she decides not to return, ditching her friend at the airport and going back to the hotel where she'd been staying to ask for a job and to live a newly self-confident life in which she is at last true to herself.

To win a pair of tickets to see Shirley Valentine tell us what country Shirley heads for and send your entry to the Times Office, 17 Bank Street, Lochgelly KY5 9QQ by Wednesday May 10.
