With Frank as her tutor Rita embarks on an Open University course and her education process as an adult begins. Glenn T. Griffin directs this British comedy. Christy Basa as Rita and Joe Rux as Frank.
Frank is a tutor of English whose disillusioned outlook on life drives him to the bottle. Rita is a hairdresser hungry to find some meaning to life. With Frank as her tutor Rita embarks on an Open University course and her education process begins. The effects are both amusing and dramatic as her fresh, intuitive approach becomes clouded and stifled as she grapples with the problem of a formal education, while Frank also learns something - to believe in himself again. "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 Sunday Telegraph "A marvelous play, painfully funny and passionately serious; a hilarious social documentary; a fairy tale with a quizzical, half happy ending."-London Sunday Times Directed by Glenn T. Griffin
