Educating Rita

Sometimes students end up being the best teachers.

A warm, witty two-character drama about mutual transformation through education and human connection, balancing Frank's disillusionment with Rita's infectious optimism.

Rita, a witty 26-year-old hairdresser, wants to 'discover' herself, so she joins the Open University where she meets the disillusioned professor of literature, Dr. Frank Bryant. His marriage has failed, his new girlfriend is having an affair with his best friend and he can't get through the day without downing a bottle or two of whisky. What Frank needs is a challenge... and along comes Rita.
