A great start to the week
We were delighted to read two fantastic 4 star reviews this morning for Educating Rita, which opened on Friday to a packed house at the Citizens Theatre.

“Emma Cunniffe is both utterly charming as the fledgling student Rita, a chattering bundle of nervous energy and determination, and also convincing as the self-assured young woman who eventually discards that name.”
