This sparky and touching drama explores the unlikely relationship between Rita — a sharp, ambitious working-class hairdresser hungry for knowledge — and Dr Frank Bryant, her weary, alcohol-soaked Open University tutor. What begins as a straightforward tutoring arrangement becomes a transformative journey for them both, as class, education, confidence, and identity collide. Originally commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company and premièred at the Warehouse Theatre, London in 1980, Educating Rita became one of the most celebrated British plays of the modern era. This BBC radio production captures all the humour, warmth, and emotional depth that made it a classic. Perfect for lovers of classic British drama, literary adaptations, and intelligent character-driven storytelling. Cast: Laura Dos Santos – Rita Bill Nighy – Dr Frank Bryant Do you enjoy the variety on Oldtuberadio?
