SOUTHEND Drama Society are presenting Educating Rita by Willy Russell this December, at the Dixon Studio.

 Life-long academic Frank is a tutor of English and a frustrated poet.

 His disillusioned outlook on life has driven him to drink and bury himself in his books. To fund his thirst, Frank agrees to take on an Open University student.

 Enter Rita – a forthright hairdresser who knows she’s out of step with her family and friends. There’s more to life than cutting hair and Rita is not prepared to settle for what she’s already got.

 Their relationship as teacher and student blossoms, giving Frank a new sense of life and Rita the knowledge she so desperately craves, although not without encountering some pitfalls along the way,

 This amateur production of Educating Rita, beloved in the film adaptation with Michael Caine,  will run from Wed 11 – Sat 14 Dec 2024 at the Palace Theatre’s Dixon Studio.

Ticket are£15 to £17, with shows at 7.30pm and 2.30pm.
