The Bovey Players Presents
Educating Rita
"Educating Rita" is a compelling play that explores the power of education and self-discovery. The story follows Rita, a working-class hairdresser, who enrolls on an Open University course to escape her mundane life. Through her with Frank, a disillusioned professor, both characters embark on a journey of personal growth and unexpected revelations. As Rita challenges societal norms, she also forces Frank to confront his own discontent. Ultimately, the play highlights the importance of choice and the quest for identity.



The cast
Annaka Mota (Rita) and Simon Mathews (Frank) are relatively new to the Bovey Tracey Players but are delighted to bring you their interpretation of this timeless play written by Willy Russell. They look forward to seeing you at one of the shows later in 2025.
