Overview
“Yeh. An’ it might be worthless in the end. But I had a choice. I chose, me. Because of what you’d given me. I had a choice.”
Frank has almost given up completely. Given up on his ambition to be a poet and bored of teaching undergraduate English students, he reflects morosely on his life. That is until Rita walks in. A 26 year old, married hairdresser, Rita has decided to take control of her life and earn herself an education. With Rita’s brash honesty and Frank’s deep intellect, each inspires the other as they both begin to wake up to life in their own way.
Willy Russell’s award-winning play is an uplifting tale of self-discovery where we witness how the power of choice comes through education.
