'Educating Rita' presented by Teignmouth Players

Thursday 2 and Saturday 4 October 7.30pm

Directed by Jackie Wesley - Harkcom , Willy Russell's intimate comedy with big ideas and an even bigger heart, is a gem of British theatre, inspired by Russell's own experiences of returning to education.
Brash , straight talking, hairdresser Rita, is determined to change her life. She wants to know 'everything' and she thinks the Open University might be just the answer.
World-weary, alcohol- fulled lecturer Frank is a failed poet, a self acknowledged 'appalling teacher of appalling students'. In fact he's just about given up.

In need of extra cash, he agrees to tutor Rita, totally unaware of the whirlwind that's about to enter his world...
Touching , life-affirming and very , very funny, Educating Rita is a comic masterpiece from one of our best loved writers.

Tickets £10 (Contact the Box Office for group booking rates.)
