Romeo and Juliet

On January 28^th, 1^st and 2^nd ESO of SES Sant Llorenç de Morunys and ESO students of IES Francesc Ribalta went to watch the play Romeo and Juliet to Solsona's theatre. The play was very modern. There were actors who had two roles.

The argument of the play: There were two families, the Capulets and the Montagues. They were rivals. One day there was a party and a Montague, Romeo and a Capulet, Juliet, went to that party. But something happened while their families fought they fell in love. Juliet left her house to see Romeo without their parents knowledge. Once again, their families fought and this time Romeo's friend died and Romeo killed Juliet's cousin.

Juliet's parents wanted her to marry a rich man, but she married Romeo in secret. She wanted her parents to think she was dead and she asked a friar to prepare a poison that made her sleep for 2 days, but Romeo didn't know her plan and he thought that she was really dead. Then he killed himself and Juilet woke up and found Romeo dead and she killed herself.

When the play finished the actors introduced themselves and we asked them some questions. Then we went back to sant Llorenç. In our opinion the play was very good and it's an opportunity to practise and learn English.


L'amor i la passió que caracteritzen l'obra de Romeo and Juliet van agradar d'allò més, però el que més va sobtar va ser com una història d'amor pot acabar en tragèdia. Per cert, el vestuari, els mòbils, el hip-hop i els efectes especials van ser el que més va agradar!

Frankenstein

On April 3rd, the students of primary and secondary (only 1st of ESO) school of St. Llorenç de Morunys went to the theatre to watch a play named “Frankenstein”.

The performance was about Dr. Frankenstein and his assistant. They made an experiment to create a strange boy named Frankenstein. They created the boy with different parts of dead bodies. The boy was very stupid and Dr. Frankenstein tried to help him to be intelligent.

The public and Dr. Frankenstein sang a song:

Head shoulders knees and toes, knees and toes
Head shoulders knees and toes, knees and toes
eyes ears nose and mouth
... shoulders knees and toes, knees and toes
... shoulders knees and toes, knees and toes
eyes ears nose and mouth
... ... knees and toes, knees and toes
... ... knees and toes, knees and toes
eyes ears nose and mouth
... ... ... and toes, ... and toes
... ... ... and toes, ... and toes
eyes ears nose and mouth.

And with the song the boy became clever.

During the performance some kids could go up to the stage and they could act with the actors, doing what Dr. Frankenstein and his assistant asked them to do. At the end, the public was able to ask some questions about the story, the way of living of the actors and about the theatre.

We think that the play was easy to understand, there were only some words that we didn't understand, such as brain... They play was fantastic and we had a good time. I hope that next year we go to watch another play in English.
