<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Do you think it would be better if you and me got ourselves steady boyfriends?</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, this new edition of <i>Rita Sue and Bob Too</i> was published to coincide with director Max Stafford-Clark's major new production produced by Out of Joint, Bolton Octagon and the Royal Court Theatre.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Andrea Dunbar </b>was a British playwright. Her first play was <i>The Arbor</i> (1977), a brilliant depiction of an abusive father and daughter relationship. The play premiered at the Royal Court, directed by Max Stafford-Clark, winning the Young Writers' Festival. Her most well-known piece for theatre is <i>Rita, Sue and Bob Too</i> (1982), which was set in Bradford, West Yorkshire, and was a study of the sexual adventures of teenage girls. This was adapted for a film in 1986. Her third play, <i>Shirley</i> was produced in 1986. She died of a brain haemorrhage in 1990, at the age of 29.
