“A bleak and brilliant testament to a life of fleeting pleasure
and diminished expectations … a play of sharp observation, a
document of its times.” The Guardian Best friends Rita and Sue
get a lift home from married Bob after babysitting his kids. When
he takes the scenic route and offers them a bit of fun, the three
start a fling each of them think they control. Andrea Dunbar's
semi-autobiographical play, written for the Royal Court Theatre in
1982 when she was just 19, is a vivid portrait of girls caught
between brutal childhood and an unpromising future, both hungry for
adult adventure. Told with wicked humour, startling insight and a
great ear for dialogue, Rita Sue and Bob Too offers an unwavering
portrait of a world of limitations and urban desolation. Published
for the first time in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series,
featuring a new introduction by Katie Beswick.
