A major revival of Willy Russell’s Educating Rita will open Liverpool Playhouse’s 2015 spring season.
The production will mark the play’s 35th anniversary and will star Leanne Best as Rita and Con O’Neill as Frank.
The Everyman season will begin with Nick Bagnall’s fresh take on A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
The second half of the season is marked by two world premières, both screen to stage adaptations: a never-before-seen Arthur Miller screenplay The Hook at the Everyman and the first-ever stage adaptation of a Coen Brothers’ film The Hudsucker Proxy.
