Join us this Autumn for our new Made at Curve production of the Olivier Award-winning Best Comedy, EDUCATING RITA. 

Written by Willy Russell, the legendary playwright behind titles including BLOOD BROTHERS, SHIRLEY VALENTINE and OUR DAY OUT, this iconic comic-drama is both “painfully funny and passionately serious” (The Sunday Times). 

Bright-eyed twenty-something Susan ‘Rita’ White dreams of making more of her life. Armed with an interest in literature and unwavering determination she enrols in the Open University, forming an unlikely friendship with disillusioned and dishevelled Frank – her self-proclaimed “appalling teacher”. Through their weekly tutorials, they challenge each other into a life-changing journey of self-discovery. 

Directed by Cara Nolan (WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?, PRIDE & PREJUDICE), the “comic, heartfelt and enduring” (The Guardian) EDUCATING RITA will leave you uplifted and encouraged to find your own path to fulfilment. 

Running time: 2 hours, including a 20 minute interval
Show warnings: This production contains strong language, references to alcohol use, suicidal thoughts, sexual content and emotional abuse.
