Rita, a spirited young hairdresser from Liverpool, yearns desperately for an education.
Pursuing her dream, Rita enrolls at the Open University for non-traditional students. Her tutor, Frank, a cynical career academic, teaches in order to pay for his drink. To his astonishment, Frank’s spirit is awakened by Rita’s comic honesty and passionate intellect. Together they embark on a challenging and wildly funny journey through the likes of Yates, Ibsen and E. M. Forster.
EDUCATING RITA was made into a hit film in 1983 starring Michael Caine and Julie Walters.
