EDUCATING RITA

By Willy Russell.

Directed by Peter Mould.

​

“I'm busy enough findin' myself, let alone findin' someone else.”

​

Step into the world of Willy Russell’s beloved play, Educating Rita,

where wit, warmth, and a touch of rebellion collide in a sharp,

heartwarming tale of self-discovery.

 

Directed by Peter Mould, The Barn Theatre Society invites you to witness this iconic production, brought to life by the captivating performances of

Zo Biba-Leonard as Rita and Mike Stoneham as Frank.

 

Rita, a spirited hairdresser hungry for knowledge, finds herself thrust into the world of academia under the reluctant guidance of Frank, a jaded university professor. As their unlikely relationship unfolds, barriers of class, expectation, and personal demons are challenged in a dazzling blend of humour and poignancy. Will Rita’s thirst for education change her life for the better,

or will it leave her questioning everything she thought she wanted?
