Écris-moi
Onatti Theatre Company has been producing educational plays for Key Stages 1-4 for the past 12 years and since 2002 we have produced foreign language plays for KS3 & 4 students. We are now extremely excited to offer all schools an educational play for children who are at their first stage of learning French!
The Play - Écris-moi Tony's French class has linked up with a school in France and his teacher has asked everyone to choose a French student and then e-mail them - in French of course. Tony chooses one called Renée, whom he thinks is a French boy, and when he gets home he devises a short e-mail in French about himself and sends it to him. In France Renée had put her name down to link up with an English child and correspond by e-mail. So, when she receives an e-mail from a girl called Tony from England, she is very excited and replies immediately. Neither of them realise their mistake. Tony thinks Renée is a French boy and Renée thinks Tony is an English girl. Over the next few days they continue to correspond oblivious of the fact that one's a boy and one's a girl. Any unusual references to "boyish things" and "girly talk" are dismissed as translation mistakes. They both really enjoy e-mailing their new found friend and it's not long before Renée invites Tony to visit her in France for a weekend. Tony's parents agree, and he's soon packing for the trip whilst over in France Renée is arranging her room to accommodate her new friend. Tony hopes Renée will take him to a French football match but Renée is planning a shopping trip for them both to buy clothes and make-up! They are both in for a bit of a shock when they finally meet.
"You're a girl!"
Both of them are totally embarrassed and very disappointed, and they try to blame each other for their mistake. As they come to terms with the situation there is one thing they both agree on - they are not sharing a room!"Tu es un garçon!" This could be a long weekend!
Écris-moi is a lighthearted play with dialogue in both English and French. It concentrates on basic French vocabulary and phrases, all presented with a great deal of repetition, and uses many visual aids. This play also explores differences, and similarities, in culture between the two countries. Above all, this play is very humorous, accessible to all abilities and is carefully pitched at the correct level to introduce lots of basic French language in a fun, realistic and non-stressful format. |
