This stage comedy by British playwright Willy Russell called Educating Rita, follows the relationship between a young working-class hairdresser and a middle-aged university lecturer, during the course of a semester. The main character is confused, switching between a pseudonym and her given name, and she struggles with this new social niche which is rife with the same dishonesty and superficiality that she has been desperately trying to escape from. Rita aka Susan hates her life, she hates her work, she hates her friends essentially she hates everything. Frank is a university professor who is an alcoholic. He teaches so he can afford to pay for his booze. Its a bit like Leaving Las Vegas but without the prostitution. Educating Rita will be held at the Segal Theatre from Tuesday, November 24 until December 13 More on Educating Rita here.
