From Amazon.com: The highlight of this volume of Russell plays is the full script for his first international hit, Educating Rita, about a young cockney woman who, Pygmalion-like, comes under the tutelage of an upper-class professor. In Russell's play, however, it is the stuffy professor who finds his life forever changed by the encounter with the brash, vital young Rita. This, along with the three early Russell plays Breezeblock Park, Our Day Out (including sheet music for songs) and Stags and Hens, shows not only his mastery of the speech patterns of the British lower middle class, but also a colossal sympathy for their concerns, hopes, and dreams--which he went on to explore with such phenomenal success in Shirley Valentine and Blood Brothers.
