Graduatric

Edinburgh 2026

A love letter to Educating Rita for an age that can't agree on anything. A fierce, funny and unsettling two-hander about grief, reinvention and the fragile possibility of dialogue. When mature student Susan is accused of transphobia, charged encounters with her tutor force buried grief and long-suppressed truths to the surface. Written by Lucy Linford, a TV writer and graduate of the NFTS and GCU. 'Her bruised characters twitch with hunger' (Colin McLaren, BAFTA-winning screenwriter).
