Hollie Gazzard Trust
Hope, passion & a life fulfilled
A production of Educating Rita was presented by the Everyman Theatre’s
professional company and performed by Mark Carey and Dani Carbery at the
King’s Theatre in Gloucester on Saturday 24 January in aid of the Hollie Gazzard
Trust. It was a thoroughly entertaining evening, brilliantly performed and directed
by Paul Milton.
Willy Russell’s play Educating Rita is a modern classic. It tells the story of
hairdresser Rita, who feels that life has passed her by. She wants an education.
But does Open University lecturer Frank have anything to teach her? Educating
Rita is a hilarious, and moving, story of a woman’s determination to change her
life. (does this remind you of Hollie?)
Director Paul Milton said ‘..We are happy to be here in Gloucester with our
production of Educating Rita, a play that has been performed at the Everyman
before, but is surely ripe for revival. It’s a twentieth-century classic and has been
voted one of the most popular plays of all time. Even though it’s a comedy I hope
you found the serious themes too – a working woman’s place in society, the
purpose of education, midlife crises and others..’
A great evening’s entertainment and HGT would like to thank the Everyman for
this performance and donating the proceeds to the fund. we would also like to
than the Kings Theatre for its hospitality. A great intimate theatre and we look
forward to working with the Everyman in the future.
