EK Rep Theatre Club (Registered Scottish Charity SC020852) presents Educating Rita, by Willy Russell. Directed by Jean Macmillan and Susan Hunt.

Frank is a tutor of English in his fifties whose disillusioned outlook on life drives him to drink and bury himself in his books. Enter Rita, a forthright 26 year-old hairdresser who is eager to learn. After weeks of cajoling, Rita slowly wins over the very hesitant Frank with her innate insight and refusal to accept no for an answer. Their relationship as teacher and student blossoms, ultimately giving Frank a new sense of self and Rita the knowledge she so craves. 

This amateur production of ‘Educating Rita’ is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd on behalf of Samuel French Ltd www.concordtheatricals.co.uk.

Get the Stetsons ready for the "Keep it Country Show" that features four of Ireland's top country stars all in one super show that even Nashville would be proud of!

The stellar line-up will include the Queen of Country Music, Philomena Begley who is celebrating 62 years on the road. She will lay her blanket on the ground and what a career she is still having. Joining her will be the young signing sensation Owen Mac who has had global hits with songs like Play me the Waltz, Gods Plan and Rolling home. The blue jean country queen from Cavan Kathy Durkin and her smash hit song "Working Man" and the popular singer, originally from Manchester but now residing in Fermanagh, Shawn Loughrey make up this hugely popular quartet.

Each of the stars will showcase their trademark hit songs in the company of Ireland's multi-award winning band Keltic Storm, making this a show you certainly won't want to miss!
