Win a night at the Theatre with Latest 7s theatre editor Andrew Kay

We have reserved the QE II Box, which was personally dedicated by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, for the performance of Educating Rita on Monday 16 July so that two of you can join Andrew Kay for the first night of Willy Russell’s hit play.

Andrew Kay is Latest 7s theatre critic, a huge fan of all kinds of theatre since his early teens and proud owner of a massive collection of theatre programmes.

“I started going to the theatre on a regular basis when I was a teenager, and I was lucky enough to live close to Liverpool where the Everyman Theatre was producing great and innovative new work, much of it written by Willy Russell. So when I was invited to preview the new production of Educating Rita at London’s Menier Chocolate Factory I was thrilled, it was a real link to my theatre history.

“Casting Matthew Kelly and Claire Sweeney was a brilliant idea and I loved the production. So much so that I thought it would make a great competition prize for Latest readers.

“Luckily the Theatre Royal Brighton thought so too and have given me the QE II box for the press night which means I can invite two readers along to join me for the review. We will be having interval drinks in the box to make the evening go with a real swing.”

If you would like a chance to win two tickets for this very special event then simply answer the following question and in no more than 30 words explain why you deserve to come along for a night at the theatre with Andrew Kay.

Q: Who played the role of Rita in the hit film adaptation of Willy Russell’s play Educating Rita?
