TEATRO

FAME & FORTUNE

O día 12 de abril fomos os rapaces de 4º de ESO e de Bacharelato a Santiago ver unha obra de teatro en inglés representada no Colexio La Salle. Tratábase dunha adaptación da novela norteamericana HUCKLEBERRY FINN e representábana uns actores dunha compañía catalana.

Este é o resumo da obra que fixo unha compañeira nosa:

Huckleberry is a poor boy. One day he found a treasure. The judge kept his treasure while one woman took him to her house. Huckleberry didn't want to go to the woman's house but he went. In the woman's house, Huckleberry changed his dirty clothes for new clothes and he started to go to school. The woman had a slave. His name is Jim. He is a black slave. Huckleberry and Jim talked when they were alone in the room but they were not friends. One day, Huckleberry was alone in his room and his father appeared. His father was a bad man. He was a drunkard.Huckleberry's faterh knew that Huckleberry found a treasure and he kidnapped him. In the forest Huckleberry was fishing while his father was sleeping. He decided to escape to the river. Meanwhile in the woman's house a man appeared. He was a slaves' buyer. The woman wanted to sell Jim. When Jim knew this he escaped. Huckleberry met Jim in the river. They escaped together on a small boat. They were hungry. Jim told Huckleberry that he disguised as a girl. He put the disguise and went to a shop but he didn'd succeed. One day, they met a criminal and he kidnapped them. This criminal knew that one rich man left a fortune to his brother and he decided to go to the man's daughter's house. Huckleberry went with him. The dead man's daughter gave to her uncle the money that her father left her uncle. But when they returned to the boat and the criminal fell asleep, Huckleberry went to the woman and told her the truth. Finally Jim and Huckleberry returned to their house. There the woman gave Jim the freedom and Huckleberry was happy because his father was dead.

This is the first time that I went to the theatre. A lot of times I asked myself why do people go to the theatre if it is very boring? But the theatre is a new alternative, it is different from watching TV or going to the cinema. Huckleberry is a moving representation about the two faces of life: friendship and the search for happiness and freedom.

This is a wonderful play. I thought that I would not understand anything, but I understood everything, almost everything. The old man was the best actor, though he performed many characters and didn't know who they were. The most important is that they were of different nationalities and spoke English very well, Spanish a litttle and they were very good friends. I liked the play very much.

I liked the play of Huckleberry Finn a lot because it's a very funny story. The actors and actresses were very expressive and they acted very well. I think we should go to see other plays more frequently.

The play was good. With few things they made a good job

.

I like the story of Huckleberry Finn, but I didn't like the decoration of the stage. It was poor and I didn't like the atmosphere because it was performed with photographs. There were only four actors that interpreted all the characters. This confused me because though they changed clothes the persons were the same.

The play was beautiful but the oldest actor nobody understood him. But I'd repeat.

A Funny day with the tale-tellers:Casilda Regueiro and Tim Bowley

Un divertido día con contacontos: Casilda Regueiro e Tim Bowley

Last December 16th, we could enjoy the stories of the tale tallers. They told some stories and I think that this hour was the funniest hour this year. For me, the story about a young and intelligent student and an old boatman was the funniest. The story told how a student crossed the river in a boat with the boatman and he asked him some questions about the studies of Maths, Geography... The boatman said "No, I don't study maths or geography!", and the student told him: "Then, you've wasted all your life!" But when the boat was sinking, the boatman asked him: "Did you learn to swim any time?" "No, why?", "Because, you've wasted all your life!!!!!!!!

O pasado 16 de decembro, @s alumn@s, gozamos das historias de dous contacontos. Eles contáronnos moitas historias e eu penso que foi a hora máis amena deste curso. Para min, a historia sobre un mozo e intelixente estudiante e sobre un barqueiro foi a máis divertida. Narraba cómo un estudiante cruza o río nunha barquiña co barqueiro e este faille algunhas preguntas sobre os estudios de matemáticas, de xeografía... O barqueiro dille: "¡Non, eu non estudiei nin mates, nin xeografía!",e o estudiante responde: "Entón, desperdiciaches toda a túa vida." Pero cando o bote se está afundindo o barqueiro dille: "¿E ti aprendiches a nadar algunha vez?", "Pois non, ¿por que?" , "¡Porque tes perdida toda a túa vida!!!!!!!!!"
