EDUCATING RITA

By Willy Russell.

Directed by Peter Mould.

​

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

​

Educating Rita follows Liverpudlian hairdresser, Rita, and her experience in returning to education. Tutor, and failed poet, Frank, is initially reluctant to take on the enormity of trying to teach this needy but unconventional would-be student, preferring to continue easing his way through his life, relationship and career with the help of booze he keeps stashed behind the literary works on his office shelves. ​​

​

A Barn Theatre production directed by Peter Mould and starring Zo Biba-Leonard as Rita and Jonny Magnanti as Frank.
