CLASSIC COMEDY Following the amazing success at the Minack Open Air Theatre, Cornwall, Willy Russell’s critically acclaimed comedy Educating Rita is coming to the Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham this month, starring one of our best loved actors Stephen Tompkinson as Frank and introducing Jessica Johnson as Rita.
When married hairdresser Rita enrols on a university course to expand her horizons, little does she realise where the journey will take her.
Her tutor Frank is a frustrated poet, brilliant academic and dedicated drinker, who's less than enthusiastic about taking Rita on, but the two soon realise how much they have to teach each other. This hilarious and heart-warming comedy won the Olivier award when it was produced in London's West End by the RSC and was adapted into the multi award-winning film which starred Julie Walters and Michael Caine.
It can be seen from Tuesday, August 24 – Saturday 28. Tickets available from the box office on 01242 572573, from £15.
