ACT ONE PRODUCTIONS presents
Educating Rita

One of Willy Russell’s best-known comedies, Educating Rita is coming to The PumpHouse Theatre in Takapuna, Auckland this March!

Directed by Terry Hooper
Starring Meg Andrews (Rita) and Matthew Diesch (Frank)

An ambitious hairdresser from a small town is determined to better herself by gaining a higher education. An alcohol-dependent university lecturer has lost his passion for teaching and life in general. When the two meet their worlds collide.

Educating Rita is one of Willy Russell’s best-known plays, drawing on every emotion to produce a profoundly moving, yet also hilarious two-hander.

“Warmly written… It is the interchange of feeling and realization of new approaches to life on both sides that make this play of particular interest.” – London Telegraph

WHERE: The PumpHouse Theatre, 2a Manurere Ave, Takapuna, Auckland 0622
