EDUCATING RITA

Following success at the Menier Chocolate Factory, this production transferred to Trafalgar Studios on 20th July and closed on 30th October as part of the Willy Russell Season.

Newcomer Laura Dos Santos is a marvellously convincing Rita – a talent to watch.

Mail on Sunday

Superb, humorous and deeply moving. A truly great play.

Educating Rita stars Tim Pigott-Smith as university professor Frank, and newcomer Laura Dos Santos as the brash young hairdresser who discovers a passion for English literature, in a production that is ‘Superb, humorous and deeply moving. A truly great play.’ (Daily Telegraph)

Laura Dos Santos displays impeccable comic timing as Rita and combines this talent with an understanding of the pathos that lies behind a young woman aching for self-improvement.
