Educating Rita Presented By Guildburys Theatre Company

Simply a marvellous play, painfully funny and passionately serious; a hilarious social documentary’ SUNDAY TIMES When married hairdresser Rita enrols on a university course to expand her horizons, little does she realise where the journey will take her. Her tutor Frank is a frustrated poet, brilliant academic and dedicated drinker, who’s less than enthusiastic about taking Rita on, but the two soon realise how much they have to teach each other. Sometimes students make the best teachers…… This hilarious and heart-warming comedy won the Olivier award when it was produced in London’s West End by the RSC and was adapted into the multi award winning film which starred Julie Walters and Michael Caine. The award winning Guildburys Theatre Company is delighted to be staging this iconic play in the uniquely intimate setting of the Bellerby Studio.
