Rita, Sue and Bob Too by Andrea Dunbar; A State Affair by Robin
Soans
When it first came out, Rita Sue and Bob Too caused a sensation for
it's frank portrayal of child sexuality in a Northern Town; the
fact that the play was based on the writer's own experience only
added to the furore. Max Stafford-Clark originally commissioned
Rita, Sue and Bob Too for the Royal Court in 1982. Eighteen years
later, he returned with a group of Out of Joint actors to the
Bradford estates that Andrea knew. A State Affair is a record of
what they found.
"A genius straight from the slums" - Shelagh Delaney (on Andrea
Dunbar) Mail on Sunday
"This is life, the facts are there ... these things do go on -
maybe not in every circle, but certainly in mine" - Andrea Dunbar,
Yorkshire Post, 1986
Out of Joint's production of Rita Sue and Bob Too and A State
Affair premiered at the Liverpool Everyman Theatre in October
2000.
