The Guardian</b></i> <p/>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. <p/>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. <p/>Told with wicked humour startling insight and a great ear for dialogue <i>Rita Sue and Bob Too</i> offers an unwavering portrait of a world of limitations and urban desolation. <p/>Published for the first time in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series featuring a new introduction by Katie Beswick.</p>
