You’ve probably seen the screen version starring Julie Walters and Michael Caine, and now’s your chance to see Educating Rita live, when Willy Russell’s comedy comes to Cheltenham.

On stage at the Everyman Theatre from Tuesday 24 until Saturday 28 of August 2021, the new summer tour stars British acting veteran Stephen Tompkinson and Coronation Street actress Jessica Johnson as Frank and Rita – a student and tutor who meet on an Open University course.

Olivier and Tony Award-winning producer, David Pugh, said: ‘What we know is that Educating Rita gives you a great night out at the theatre and that’s the best any of us can hope for!’
