Preston-born actor Philip Bretherton arrived in Manchester to study at the university in the 1980s. Life has turned full circle for him because now he’s back here as Frank, the lecturer in Willy Russell’s Educating Rita. We tracked him down during a break in rehearsals to talk about his life as a student then, and his life on stage now…
Educating Rita runs from Thu 26 Sep – Sat 12 Oct 2013. You can book tickets online here or from The Lowry Box Office on 0843 208 6010.
