Educating Rita (Cape Town)
Rita White (played by Zoë McLaughlin), a young Liverpudlian hairdresser enrols in an Open University course to study literature to better herself and escape from her drab and dreary working-class world. Along the way, she meets her tutor, Frank Bryant (played by Jason K. Ralph), a jaded professor who quickly becomes fascinated by Rita’s offbeat take on the world of academia.
The production has a running time of 120 minutes with a 20-minute intermission and carries an age-restriction of PG for mild-language usage.

With dialogue radiant with the wit and charm of 1980s England, EDUCATING RITA is an intimate, funny, and moving classic of how the world opens up when we open ourselves up to the world.
