After the show

And it’s all over now. The students of Global Village celebrated the end of the school year on Wednesday. But how they did it! The performance was simply a hit. The audience – other students, parents, friends, and a great number of chance passers-by – all reacted spontaneously. You could hear laughter, giggling and applause every now and then. As for the actors, they did their best. The nervousness of the rehearsals disappeared the moment the drumming announced the beginning of the play. Later some of them said that they did actually miss a word or two, but it was hardly noticeable. To me they were professionals, and it was a double pleasure watching good performance played by good actors, as well as watching my own marvellous students – the shopkeeper, Capulets’ servant, Father Lawrence, Lord Montague, Tybalt, Benvolio, Prince Escalus, and many many others.
And to those who couldn’t come – don’t worry. You’ll still have a chance to see them next school year – in a student theatre, in one high school or another. They are too good actors to let them stop at the beginning of their careers :)
