Sidetrack Productions is back with an encore presentation of Educating Rita at the Larry L. King Theatre at Austin Playhouse. After a successful run in April/May, professional actors Michael Stuart and Molly Karrasch star once more in Willy Russell’s award-winning British comedy.
Rita is the irreverent, impulsive and chatty title character; a young working-class hairdresser in Liverpool craving a better life. Enrolling in an Open University literature course, she is taken under the reluctant wing of Frank, her often inebriated English professor. The duo spend the next year waxing poetic about England’s class system, finding oneself, the pitfalls of institutional education, freedom, change and love.
Austin Live Theatre said in its May review, “Educating Rita slipped through with a low profile during its short run at the Larry L. King stage at Austin Playhouse.” … “Michael Stuart is solid as ever” [and] “Molly Karrasch sparkled and was an absolute delight.” … “Their vivid portrayal of the developing relationship made this one of the best comedies onstage so far this season.” The show was also recognized by Austin Live Theatre with two ALT Applause awards for Best Comedy and Best Actress in a Comedy.
