I have just directed a production of Educating Rita and would like to thank the many people who put reviews on Amazon.com. Learning how others viewed the play was of great assistance and sent cast and director in interesting directions.

As to the play itself, if you want to study a modern play which is positively enhanced by critical analysis, I highly recommend Educating Rita.

A great read, but even more enjoyable when given life by actors - a fabulous play!

Educating Rita is a really funny play. It's humour is only subtle, but the inuendo between Frank and Rita the two main characters is quite obvious. I guess what makes it funny is seeing how these two very different people interact with each other. And Rita, well she's just hilarious...and rude!

I just read Educating Rita as a part of my SACE Stage 1. Not only was it funny and imagineative but full of drama and suspense, I COULDN'T OUT IT DOWN! This would have to be one of Russell's finest plays!

in my opinion, frank is educating rita, as well as rita is educating frank. Rita learns much about literature whereas Frank learns much about life.By the end of the story, rita is more mature and educated of course, and frank becomes more lively and informal.
