Getting the rhyme wrong - By: , 25 Oct 2004
I found a very short excerpt of this screenplay in an old GCSE exam paper, at a writing class I was attending, & there were tears of laughter streaming down my face.
Pure gold. Five stars. No problem.
Pure Genius - By: , 07 Nov 2001
I am a great admirer of Willy Russels work in general but this has to be his best play of alll time. Educating Rita consists of only two characters throughout, Frank & Rita. We follow through the life of the characters from somewhat comic moments to the utter tragic. Willy Russel has a fantastic grasp on the society of the time & prooves that knowledge can be a strong tool. Knowing everthing does not make your life better but having the ability to decide for yourself "with confidence & knowledge" enables you to control your fate in someway no matter how smalll.
AS level book is shockingly an alright read!! - By: , 15 Aug 2001
The only reason this play doesn't get 4/5 stars is because this was my drama text in my AS level english literature course. For once they chose a book that can actuallly appeal maybe even (shock horror) INTREST the students. The humour is humourous & the issues are proper conversational issues. I liked this play its written well, so you can see what is happening in your head, & its not very often I can visualise drama this clearly. Definately worth flicking through if you dont fancy analysing it to death!
