This week, Ian the Gadget Guru looked at three wildly different topics. The first was Space X, which plans to send uncrewed missions to Mars. But how realistic is this, and what time frame are we talking about?
Boutique Theatre Basel - Educating Rita - August 2024
The Boutique Theatre Basel's September 2024 production is Willy Russell's stage comedy «Educating Rita», a play for two actors. The play takes place entirely in the office of an Open University professor.
Rita, a young Liverpudlian and working class hairdresser, has decided to take a class at Open University taught by Frank. Frank is a middle-aged educator who salves his weariness with alcohol. Frank is taken by Rita's energy and fresh perspective on classic works.
The tutoring sessions take place in Frank's office. It is during these tutoring sessions that we learn more about Rita and Frank and how their relationship develops. The play tackles themes of gender stereotypes, class, and addiction.
The performances are on September 13th, 14th, 20th, 22nd, 27th and 28th, 2024 at 20:00 at the Fachwerk Allschwil. Get your tickets here. Actors Natalie Müller and Fred Zimmerman joined us to talk about the play.
