Potters Bar Theatre Company is delighted to bring ‘Educating Rita’ to the intimate setting of the Wyllyotts Theatre Studio (Alexander Wilding Room)
Willy Russell’s timeless, British classic play is a life affirming, moving, hilarious and heart-warming comedy.
Rita the bright eyed working class hairdresser and Frank the middle aged, disillusioned academic and professional drinker reflect on books, life and spar with each other.
Dreaming of breaking free from her mundane and routine life Rita embarks on an Open University course in English Literature under the instruction of Frank an English Tutor
who describes himself as ‘an appalling teacher’. Rita’s enthusiasm and zest for life reinvigorate him and a journey of rediscovery begins for them both.
Sometimes students make the best teachers…
