RITA, SUE, AND BOB TOO Comes to The Marlowe

Rita, Sue And Bob Too is performed by the acclaimed company Out Of Joint, making their first visit to The Marlowe. The play tells the story of best friends Rita and Sue, who get a lift home from married Bob after babysitting his kids. When he takes the scenic route and offers them a taste of adult adventure, the three start a fling each of them think they can control.

Told with wicked humour, startling insight and a great ear for dialogue, Andrea Dunbar's semi-autobiographical play is a vivid portrait of girls caught between brutal childhood and an unpromising future.

Written when she was just 19, Rita, Sue And Bob Too was an instant hit, later adapted into a much-loved 80s film. It proved as fresh and popular as ever in this new production by Kate Wasserberg, garnering great praise on tour and during its packed-out London run at The Royal Court Theatre.

Out Of Joint are a British-based theatre company who aim to produce and tour political, socially engaged and humane work which will "spark and enrich conversations around kitchen tables around the UK." They've been bringing new stories and voices to the stage since 1994, winning multiple awards along the way.

Rita, Sue And Bob Too is at The Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury from Wednesday 24 to Saturday 27 April, with performances at 7.30pm and 2.30pm (Saturday only). There will also be a round-table discussion about the play's themes on Friday 26 April at 6pm. Tickets can be booked by visiting marlowetheatre.com or by calling Box Office on 01227 787787.
