SYNOPSIS:
Hairdresser Rita feels that life is passing her by. She wants an education. But does her tutor, the jaded, heavy-drinking Frank have anything to teach her? Or, might he be the one with lessons to learn from the fresh and feisty Rita? Russell’s award winning play gives a hilarious and often moving account of a young woman’s determination to change her life. The play became a multiple award-winning film starring Michael Caine and Julie Walters.
ROLES:
Rita: (female, 26) a working class hairdresser
Frank: (male, early 50s): a middle-aged university lecturer in English literature
