Queen City Theatre Company

Educating Rita, this succesful play, made into a
movie starring Michael Caine and Julie Walter, will
make you laugh, think and enjoy a very pleasant
evening of great theatre and entertainment with
local stars Christy K. Basa and Joe Rux.

Directed by Glenn T. Griffin and in the intimate Duke
Power Theatre, "Educating Rita" runs from August
7th thru August 23rd at 8:00 PM with a special
matinee on sunday 17th August at 2:30 pm.

Frank is a tutor of English whose disillusioned
outlook on life drives him to the bottle. Rita is a
hairdresser hungry to find some meaning to life.
With Frank as her tutor Rita embarks on an Open
University course and her education process begins.
The effects are both amusing and dramatic as her
fresh, intuitive approach becomes clouded and
stifled as she grapples with the problem of a formal
education, while Frank also learns something - to
believe in himself again.

"Warmly written. . . . It is the interchange of feeling
and realization of new approaches to life on both
sides that make this play of particular
interest."-London Sunday Telegraph

"A marvelous play, painfully funny and passionately
serious; a hilarious social documentary; a fairy tale
with a quizzical, half happy ending."-London
Sunday Times
