                     'Educating Rita' by Willy Russell

Frank, a whisky-loving middle-aged English Tutor seems to be drinking himself towards oblivion when his world is rocked by the arrival of Rita, a working-class girl from Liverpool. She bursts in to Frank’s world with a raw energy and a hunger to be ‘educated’ that takes Frank by surprise. He starts to teach her but is soon questioning the value of his efforts, as we the audience starts to wonder who is receiving the greater lesson, the pupil or the teacher? Voted best comedy of 1980, Esk Valley Theatre is delighted to be presenting an updated version of this funny, thought-provoking play.

Esk Valley Theatre offers the chance to enjoy a local pre-theatre lunch or dinner, drinks on the lawn, and the stunning scenery of the North York Moors.
