Embark on a journey of self-discovery with ‘Educating Rita’ by Willy Russell. Set against the backdrop of 1980s Liverpool, this captivating play follows the unlikely bond between Frank, a disillusioned university professor, and Rita, a spirited hairdresser thirsty for knowledge. As Rita enrolls in Frank’s literature course, she challenges societal norms and confronts her own limitations, while Frank rediscovers his passion for teaching.

Through witty dialogue and poignant moments, ‘Educating Rita’ explores the transformative power of education and the pursuit of personal growth.
