Product Description
Much to the dismay of her husband Denny, Rita, a young, brash hairdresser, has recently discovered a passion for English literature & enrols with the Open University. Her fresh, unschooled reaction to the classics challenges the attitudes of the University & her lecturer Frank who begins to question his own understanding of his work & himself.
Educating Rita, by Willy Russell, was first performed at The Warehouse, London, in June 1980 & later transferred to the Piccadilly Theatre. The production starred Julie Walters & Mark Kingston & won the Society of West End Theatres award for Best Comedy. Julie Walters went on to play Rita in the BAFTA award winning film version with Michael Caine as Frank. Both received BAFTA & Golden Globe Awards & Oscar nominations for their performances.
