Rita (played by Marcia Kash) is a hairdresser who feels trapped in her working class lifestyle. She wants to change her life completely, but has come to understand it can only be done "from the inside". She resists the temptation to forget her troubles sim- ply by "going out and setting a new dress", and in- stead enrolls in a University night class to learn about English literature. Rita worries that her family and friends see ballet or opera on television and dismiss it as "rubbish" only because they do not understand it. And so Rita comes to the office of professor Frank Bryant (Sean Mulcahy), in search of the education she never got at school. Rita is in search of meaning in her life, but unlike Ibsen's Peer Gynt whom she refers to, Rita does not peel her onion and find nothing inside the layers. Likewise, the professor describes himself as an "appalling" teacher and recommends Rita go else- where for enlightenment, but she persists and sticks with him, even when she finds herself eventually al- ienated from her husband and former friends. , You may be familiar with the sjory, but this two- man show is well worth seeing.. The Playhouse have done wen with the one -room set, and even the cos- tume changes are effective and meaningful as Rita's wardrobe tracks her expanding horizons. Mulcahy is especially convincing as he beams with delight at Rita's small triumphs and her brutally honest percep- tion of life and literature. Sticking to the British slang and turns of phrases found in the text is commendable, but it was evident the audience got lost from time to time. However, the professor accusing Rita of talking like a "Dalek" when she feigns a more cultured accent, really went over like a lead balloon. Obviously, there weren't any Dr. Who fans in the audience opening night. Overall, Educating Rita is an enjoyable evening's entertainment. Although maybe one could have wished for a little more tension and suspense just be- fore the final punchline, but that's just being fussy.
