FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FROM MELBOURNE CIVIC THEATRE
FOR OUR NEXT PRODUCTION: Educating Rita (2003 revised version)
BY: Willy Russell
The Synopsis: Frank is a tutor of English in middle age whose disillusioned outlook on life drives him to drink and bury himself in his books. Enter Rita, a forthright youthful hairdresser who is eager to learn. After weeks of cajoling, Rita slowly wins over the very hesitant Frank with her innate insight and refusal to accept no for an answer. Their relationship as teacher and student blossoms, ultimately giving Frank a new sense of self and Rita the knowledge she so craves. The play became a hit film with Michael Caine and Julie Walters.
