Educating Rita
By Willy Russell
Willy Russell’s classic comedy of class, culture, and change
Rita wants more—from life, from learning, from herself. So she walks into Frank’s musty university office looking for an education… and ends up teaching him more than he ever bargained for.
First staged by the RSC in 1980 and later adapted into the iconic BAFTA-winning film,starring Julie Walters and Michael Caine, Educating Rita has inspired generations. Now, it returns in a fresh new production at Reading Rep Theatre—Berkshire’s home of outstanding theatre.
Bursting with heart and sharp humour, this modern classic is as powerful and relevant today as ever as it was 40 years ago
“A simply marvellous play, painfully funny and passionately serious.” — Sunday Times
“Russell’s script is a triumph… comic, heartfelt and enduring.” — The Guardian
Whether you’re a lifelong fan or discovering Rita’s journey for the first time, don’t miss this must-see theatrical event—full of laughter, warmth, and the powerful reminder that it’s never too late to start again.
