Educating Rita Theatre Break

Tim Pigott-Smith and Laura Dos Santos (Educating Rita, BBC Radio) star in the first major London revival of Willy Russells Educating Rita following its sell-out run at the Menier Chocolate Factory.

Directed by Jeremy Sams.

Much to the dismay of her husband Denny, Rita, a young, brash hairdresser, has recently discovered a passion for English literature and enrols with the Open University. Her fresh, unschooled reaction to the classics challenges the attitudes of the University and her lecturer Frank who begins to question his own understanding of his work and himself.

Please note: Minimum age for children is 5. Final show times are subject to change and specific cast members cannot be guaranteed for every performance.
