Language Plays 2010


The language plays took place last evening, providing the audience with lots of entertainment and amusement. First up was Form I Spanish with a play called Mi amigo Fred followed by Form II's take on Cendrillon, the 'cinderella' story (stepmother and ugly sisters pictured above) written by the French author Charles Perrault. The Irish play, An clócín dearg (Little Red Riding Hood), was performed by Form IV. A new addition this year was the play in Russian, Kolobok, written for the stage by Igor Verkovskiy (Form V). To finish we had the hilarious and colourful, Dorn Roeschen, the tale of Sleeping Beauty performed in German by Form V. There is a slideshow of pictures in the sidebar to the right. More reviews by pupils to follow.
