"AN EFFERVESCENT CROWD-PLEASER! The is play has craft and wit and heart, and moments of piercing truth, too. Part of the enjoyment is watching what Jane Pfitsch and Andrew Long, two skilled actors, bring out of each other. Pfitsch is a delight, consistently finding fresh ways to bring a comic fizz to the proceedings. Long displays expert timing and a gift for the double-take." — The Boston Globe
"EXQUISITE! Educating Rita merits high grades. Jaane Pfitsch and Andrew Long are both exquisitely comfortable in their characterizations. It is as if they have been playing these roles opposite each other for a long run as they seamlessly navigate Rita's and Frank's journeys of self-discovery and sweep us off our feet in the process." — BroadwayWorld.com
"A delightful comedy! After a long, cold winter, Educating Rita is a breath of springtime." — BerkshireFineArts.com

From The Boston Globe, March 6, 2011: "Aitken, 65, was last at the Huntington in 2007, directing her London hit The 39 Steps, on its way to a two-year Broadway run. In that fast-paced comedy, four actors played more than 150 roles. This time, two actors play two roles in a single setting, the professor's office, and the laugh lines have a more serious context: a young woman's yearning for knowledge and her determination to put off childbearing, despite her husband's wishes. . . .
