‘I’ve come to take Juliet to church!’
I think that in general the play was a great success and we should be proud of what we did. In my opinion such event is also a chance to meet new people, make new friends and have a good fun. In Białystok there is no other school which ends the year with a show, so somehow we feel proud to be students of GV. The event was worth the effort, it made us feel like professional actors on the biggest stage. The preparation of the show was difficult, mostly because we decided to perform in the streets. Of course we may have been more efficient with time, I think we lost a bit on the pantomime, but on the other hand, it was a chance for us to know each other better. We all did an incredible job to prepare the play, even though we were frequently disturbed by passers-by and drunk men begging for money.
The most important thing about our project was meeting fantastic people. I think we would all agree that the event was not only an occasion to show off, and realize how fantastic English school we are, but also an opportunity to integrate in our small GV community. Before and after English classes we pass each other in the corridor. There is simply no time to chat and get to know others.
We were all responsible for our parts in the play, we worked hard and we finally did it. For next year I think we should consider starting rehearsals a bit earlier. This year I saw that it was really difficult for us all to gather, so the sooner we start, the better. I suggest that next year we should find some theatre to perform in. I know it will be difficult to arrange, but easier to rehearse. I hope we’ll do even better. And personally I would prefer a comedy.
Hey Paris, that was an effort, wasn’t it? Shouldn’t you complain to the host about the choice of the picture? Or did you pick it yourself? Anyway you have my respect for that.
