Items related to Educating Rita (Methuen Drama Student Editions)
'One way of describing Educating Rita would be to say that it was about the meaning of education ... Another would be to say that it was about the meaning of life. A third, that it is a cross between Pygmailion and Lucky Jim. A fourth, that it is simply a marvellous play, painfully funny and passionately serious; a hilarious social documentary; a fairy-tale with a quizzical, half-happy ending.' Sunday Times
Educating Rita, which portrays a working-class Liverpool woman's hunger for education, premiered at the RSC Warehouse, London, in 1980 and won the SWET award for Best Comedy of the Year. It was subsequently made into a highly successful film with Michael Caine and Julie Walters and won the 1983 BAFTA award for Best Film.

Review:
'Russell's deft two-hander has as much to say about education, art and power and it does about class.' --Shona Craven, Herald, 16.2.09
Synopsis:
A Student Edition of Willy Russell's classic play, with full introduction, commentary, notes on the text and questions for study. This edition contains the author's revised version of the play, produced in 2002. Educating Rita, about a working-class Liverpool girl's hunger for education, is 'simply a marvellous play, painfully funny and passionately serious; a hilarious social documentary; a fairy-tale with a quizzical, half-happy ending.' Sunday Times Educating Rita was premiered at the RSC Warehouse, London, in June 1980.Voted Best Comedy of 1980, it was subsequently made into a highly successful film with Michael Caine and Julie Walters. 'Like Roots and Pygmalion a touching play about the melancholic ways education often pulls people apart instead of bringing them together' Guardian 'Willy Russell has taken a look at two segments of English society and engineered a collision that is as full of regret as it is of promise' The Times
