'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.
