Educating Rita: Methuen Drama Student Editions

Autor Willy Russell Editat de Steve Lewis

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 sep 2007

'One way of describing Educating Rita would be to say that it was about the meaning of education ... Another would be to say that it was about the meaning of life. A third, that it is a cross between Pygmailion and Lucky Jim. A fourth, that it is simply a marvellous play, painfully funny and passionately serious; a hilarious social documentary; a fairy-tale with a quizzical, half-happy ending.' Sunday Times
Educating Rita, which portrays a working-class Liverpool woman's hunger for education, premiered at the RSC Warehouse, London, in 1980 and won the SWET award for Best Comedy of the Year. It was subsequently made into a highly successful film with Michael Caine and Julie Walters and won the 1983 BAFTA award for Best Film.
Commentary and notes by Steve Lewis.

Recenzii

'Russell's deft two-hander has as much to say about education, art and power and it does about class.'
Willy Russell's intellectually insatiable hairdresser is one of those rare comic creations who have become lodged in the collective consciousness.
Willy Russell's 1979 two-hander emerges evergreen: of its time, but relevant to an income-bracketed Britain where accents still speak volumes.
