The Next Stage Theatre Company presents
Educating Rita
A reading of the Willy Russell play that became an award-winning film.
A classic. An irresistible story about a lively, lower-class woman hungering for an education. The burnt-out English professor who reluctantly provides her with one through Open University tutoring has long ago lost the ability to enjoy life the way his uneducated pupil does.
Witty, down-to-earth, kind, and loaded with common sense, Rita is the antithesis of the humorless, stuffy academic world she so longs to infiltrate.
About The Next Stage Theatre Company
