Pick up Educating Rita tickets and see stars of stage and screen Larry Lamb and Laura Dos Santos star in Willy Russell’s classic tale made famous by the film starring Julie Walters and Michael Caine.

Pick up Educating Rita tickets
Educating Rita tickets are sure to be in demand for one of the most popular plays of recent times, with Willy Russell’s heart-warming tale enjoying an eagerly anticipated revival at the Menier Chocolate Factory. Educating Rita was first commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company and was premiered on the West End in 1980 before being made into a hugely successful film in 1983, so the Menier Chocolate Factory production will be a welcome return to the capital for one of Willy Russell’s best pieces.

Classic tale
Educating Rita tells the tale of Rita, a brash young hairdresser who discovers a thirst for English literature, prompting her to enrol on an Open University course to complete her degree. What follows is a journey of self discovery, both for Rita and her new tutor, as she begins to ask questions about her life, him, and the attitudes, assumptions and conventions of the university system. Ever since Educating Rita premiered nearly thirty years ago, it’s been a much-loved story, so expect the Menier Chocolate Factory production to be hugely popular.

Willy Russell
Educating Rita will be shown concurrently with Shirley Valentine, as the Menier Chocolate Factory celebrates the work of acclaimed playwright Willy Russell. Both Educating Rita and Shirley Valentine showcase his expertise with working class, touching tales of self-improvement, a combination that has enthralled theatre goers and movie goers alike for over thirty years. So if you’d like to see Larry Lamb and Laura Dos Santos in Educating Rita, pick up tickets and head for the Menier Chocolate Factory.
