ROMEO AND JULIET
In the olden days, Shakespeare wrote lots of fabulous plays. This year, Year Six are doing Romeo and Juliet. As you may know, in the past women did not act so men had to do the roles of a women. That's why there were very little girl characters in Romeo and Juliet. Another thing was the vocabulary. With all the thou, thy,thee and so on. So much that we couldn't pronouce it all.
The problem was solved by our drama teacher, Sinead, who has written the play again but with our vocabulary ( with some thou, thee, etc) She also added extra characters for girls to act and made the play shorter as the original was 3 hours long. So A BIG THANKS to SINEAD!!!!!
Year 6 Red will do the 1st part, Year 6 Blue are doing the 2nd and finally Year 6 yellow are doing the 3rd part.
The other two more little problems were that some people wanted more lines to say and as the play was alrady written, Sinead will have to modify the script and add more part to the play. The other thing was that Romeo and Juliet have to kiss somewhere. They thought about it and realised that it could be in their hand even though it is not definitive.
In Year 6 Red there were a couple of problems, for example, people didn't like their characters as much as others. In other classes it was not as bad. But in the end all problems got solved.
So even though there have been problems it has been a great time as all students say so.
" We have had a great time reading the script and are ready to act." said a student in Year 6 Blue
"Sinead has done the best of it and it sure will be a grand performance."
