Archives - Educating Rita

by Willy Russell

Directed by Julia Bridgeman

Friday 19th – Saturday 27th September 2003 in the Auditorium

Frank, in his fifties, is a tutor of English in a university in the north of England. His disillusioned outlook on life has driven him to seek refuge in bottles of whisky which hide on his bookshelves! Rita is a forthright, twenty-six year old hairdresser who is hungry to find some meaning to life and “know everything”. With Frank as her tutor, Rita embarks on an Open University course and her education begins!

…a marvellous play, painfully funny and passionately serious…
