Educating Liverpool
Educating Liverpool
Last Modified: 01 Mar 2008

Willy Russell, one of Liverpool's most successful playwrights, has been helping develop a new repertory theatre company in the city's centre.
To this end has re-written one of his earliest plays.
The creator of Blood Brothers and Educating Rita has always been a maverick, not someone to join in general festivities.
Russell hasn't as yet contributed to Liverpool's year as European Capital of Culture and he probably won't directly, but at the age of 60 he remains a resident and fundamentally engaged with his home city.
