Rita is a feisty, brash, straight-talking hairdresser who is determined to change her life by getting a University education. Her tutor is Frank, a failed poet and disillusioned professor – a self-described “appalling teacher of appalling students.” Their relationship as teacher and student explores poetry and the classic texts of English literature through their vastly different life experiences – giving each of them an education of a lifetime in the process.

Educating Rita is a heartwarming comedy about the transformative power of knowledge, learning, and having a choice – the perfect show for those who want to know “everything.”
