| Synopsis | Alice is a retired English teacher who is living a comfortable if rather lonely existence. A chance encounter with her neighbour’s daughter re-awakens her passion to teach when she discovers that most unusual of things. A pupil who wants to learn! With a respectful nod to ‘Educating Rita’ this is a story of how a generation gap is easily bridged through the discovery of a mutual interest. All scenes are set in Alice’s living room which has minimal set requirements.
