Willy Russell’s (Blood Brothers, Shirley Valentine) award-winning modern classic returns in a funny, tender and life-affirming new production by award-winning director, Debbie Hannan. This is a show about self-discovery, second chances and the power of learning.

Rita (Grace Galloway) is a spirited hairdresser hungry for change. Frank (Richard Conlon) is a disillusioned university lecturer who has lost faith in his work and in himself. When their worlds collide, an unexpected friendship sparks that will change them both.

First performed in 1980 and later adapted into the beloved film starring Julie Walters and Michael Caine, which earned three BAFTA Awards and three Oscar nominations, Educating Rita remains a warm, witty and deeply human celebration of growth, connection and the transformative joy of education.
