Outdoor theatre is on its way back with a bang for Cornwall's iconic outdoor ampitheatral Minack Theatre this summer as it welcomes the touring production of Willy Russell's Educating Rita starring Stephen Tompkinson and Jessica Johnson to its stage between 18 - 29 August
When married hairdresser Rita enrols on a university course to expand her horizons, little does she realise where the journey will take her.
Her tutor Frank is a frustrated poet, brilliant academic and dedicated drinker, who's less than enthusiastic about taking Rita on, but the two soon realise how much they have to teach each other.
This hilarious and heart-warming comedy won the Olivier award when it was produced in London's West End by the RSC and was adapted into the multi award winning film which starred Julie Walters and Michael Caine.
Written by one of our greatest ever playwrights Willy Russell and starring one of our best loved actors Stephen Tompkinson as Frank and introducing Jessica Johnson as Rita.
Willy Russell has adapted his wonderful play especially for the Minack Theatre. Educating Rita will be performed outside, with no interval and observing social distancing.
THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY PRODUCTION
For your comfort and safety
This performance will run without an interval.
This is a relaxed performance so you are free to leave your seat at any time during the show to visit the toilets or purchase refreshments. If you do leave your seat during the performance, we ask you to cover your face as you may briefly pass within 1m of other audience members.
Minack padded seats will not be available to hire for this performance, but you are welcome to bring your own cushion.
