The Barn Theatre - Educating Rita

“BUILT BY BARN REVIVAL

EDUCATING RITA

Written By Willy Russell

Directed by Stephen Unwin

“A Timeless British Classic”

Rita is a bright eyed, 26-year-old, working class hairdresser who dreams of breaking free from her mundane and routine life. She signs up to attend an Open University course in Literature and meets Frank, a middle aged disillusioned academic, disappointed writer and somewhat professional drinker.

Even Frank describes himself as “an appalling teacher”, but her sheer zest for life re invigorates him and a journey of rediscovery for both of them begins. Educating Rita is a life affirming, moving and hugely funny play that brings together an unlikely pairing of two worlds in perfect collision.

Willy Russell’s play is a heartwarming timeless British classic that has won the love of audiences for decades.
