Photo Flash: First Look at Shattered Globe’s EDUCATING RITA
Shattered Globe Theatre will present Educating Rita, the charming comedy with serious questions at its heart, opening June 23rd and running through August 14th at Chicago Dramatists, 1105 W. Chicago Ave.
Educating Rita tells the story of a brash, young hairdresser from Liverpool, hungry to improve her lot in life by furthering her education. When the free-spirited Rita enrolls at the local university, she discovers a passion for literature, while at the same time, turning the life of Dr. Frank Bryant, her boozy and burnt-out professor, upside down. Chemistry radiates between these two polar opposites in this intelligent, funny, and surprising play where teacher and student learn invaluable life lessons through each others' experience.
First performed in 1980, Educating Rita is written by British playwright Willy Russell. The play was adapted by Russell for the 1983 film starring Michael Caine and Julie Walters. More recently, the play was revised by Russell for the 2002 production at The Liverpool Playhouse (Liverpool, England). Shattered Globe Theatre brings the first performance of the updated play - set in present-day England - to Chicago audiences.
