Synopsis
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 This new student edition includes an introduction covering the play's context; chronology; dramatic devices; critical reception; production history; and key themes such as class and identity, popular culture and education. Educating Rita portrays a working-class Liverpool woman's hunger for education. It 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. Commentary and notes by Katie Beswick, University of the Arts London.

Condition: Very Good. : Educating Rita es una obra de teatro de Willy Russell sobre una joven de clase trabajadora que desea superar su educación y un profesor de inglés de la Open University al que se le asigna su tutoría. Rita desea ser educada para poder escapar de su entorno familiar, pero su marido Denny quiere que se quede en casa y tenga un bebé. Rita comienza a cambiar, vendiendo sus viejos vestidos y muebles para poder pagar sus estudios.
