'Any time you take on an existing play, you consider how it will resonate now,' says director Debbie Hannan. Willy Russell’s Educating Rita has arrived at Dundee Rep Theatre carrying more than four decades of cultural baggage. First staged in 1980, the comedy tracking the collision between a working-class hairdresser and a cynical academic is familiar territory. However, Hannan frames this revival not as an exercise in nostalgia, but as an attempt to dissect contemporary social friction.
