When married hairdresser Rita enrols on a university course, she has no idea where the journey will take her. Her tutor Frank isn&#8217;t enthusiastic about taking her under his wing, but they soon realise they can learn a lot from each other. This adaption of the multi award-winning  film starring Julie Walters and Michael Caine is guaranteed to be a hit! <a href="https://www.yvonne-arnaud.co.uk/production/educating-rita-0">yvonne-arnaud.co.uk</a>

<h3>COMEDY: Alex Edelman: Just For Us, The Forge, Basingstoke, Thurs 12</h3>
Up and coming on the comedy circuit, Alex Edelman’s latest show has got rave reviews and is apparently all about gorillas that can-do sign language and tribalism. Yep, I’ve got no idea either.

#I’ll be there for you when the rain starts to fall# Ahhhh the 90s were a golden era of coffee shops, high waisted jeans and sitcoms set in New York… so not much different from now. This parody show brings together some of the best-loved moments of a particular 90s phenomenon in rip-roaring musical chorus.
