Further Information:
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 was adapted into a cult 80s film.
Rita and Sue are teenage girls brought up in 1982 and Thatcher's Bradford. Their loud, brassy confidence belies their ignorance of the world in general and sexual matters in particular. After offering to drive them home, Bob, the father of the children Rita and Sue have been babysitting, seduces both of them in his car on a deserted moor. After that, they continue to meet up clandestinely – always as a threesome, to prevent Bob showing any favouritism – but it’s an utterly empty experience for them: Rita and Sue do it because it makes them feel adult and wanted (albeit briefly) while Bob is using them as a substitute for his own passionless relationship with his wife. Needless to say, things turn out badly.
