Much to the dismay of her husband Denny, Rita, a young, brash hairdresser, has recently discovered a passion for English literature and enrols with the Open University.

Her fresh, unschooled reaction to the classics challenges the attitudes of the university and her lecturer Frank, who begins to question his own understanding of his work and himself.

Educating Rita premiered at the Piccadilly theatre in 1980. One of Russell's best loved plays, it was made into a highly successful film in 1983 starring Julie Walters and Michael Caine.

In Jeremy Sams's revival for the Menier, Laura Dos Santos and Tim Pigott-Smith star as pupil and teacher.  Young actress Dos Santos has previously been seen in Russell's Stags And Hens.

Educating Rita plays at the Menier Chocolate Factory in repertoire with Shirley Valentine, as part of a season celebrating Russell, the playwright and novelist whose other work includes the long-running musical Blood Brothers.
