Educating Rita @ The Hedgerow

Directed by Penelope Reed
February 8-March 11, 2012 Signature Series

University lecturer Frank needs to earn some extra money, so he agrees to tutor Rita, a brash, earthy hairdresser with a recently discovered passion for higher education. The result is a delightful Pygmalion-style comedy in which Frank ends up playing Henry Higgins to Rita's modern-day Eliza Doolittle.
I wanted to make a play which engaged and was relevant to those who considered themselves uneducated, those whose daily language is not the language of the university or the theatre. I wanted to write a play which would attract, and be as valid for, the Ritas in the audience as the Franks. - Willy Russell
