How did Willy Russell make the opening dramatic and entertaining?

This is also found to be entertaining as he hides his addiction by secretly storing the bottle behind Dickens.

As Frank was on the phone to his wife, to whom he is being quite rude to which is also entertaining to the audience, someone knocks at his office door. Suddenly a bubbly, loud northerner enters the room. Before you get to know her character her entrance is dramatic and she is generally entertaining. After she comes in the room and 'dumps her bag' she just stands there until Frank questions her.

'You are?' Rita simply answers

'What am I?' the conversation continues until Rita completely changes the subject.

The most entertaining factor of this book I find is the difference or their personalities right from the beginning. Rita finds some painting and describes it as 'erotic' and 'pornography of its day' where as Frank thinks that the painting is 'beautiful' and 'covers many feelings'. Rita's response to the painting is dramatic and Franks is more thoughtful.

The most dramatic and entertaining part of speech is from Rita.

'Do you get a lot of students like me?' the reason I think it is so dramatic and entertaining is that it is a random comment that puts herself down.
