This is a very visual and amusing play aimed at teenagers who are studying German as a foreign language.

Nothing to wear in Northern Ireland
The play
The story takes an hilarious look at two love-stuck German teenagers, Jessica and Stefan, as they both get ready for that all important first date. What should they say? Where should they go? What should they wear!

Practising kissing!

Their first proper date could be a perfect night or an embarrassing disaster. They both have less than one hour to get ready and prepare for their nerve racking evening.

During their preparation both Jessica and Stefan experience stress, apprehension, fear, excitement, hysteria and panic!

The staging
The stage is split in two. One half is Jessica's bedroom and the other half is Stefan's room. The audience will watch them both getting ready together. This makes the play very entertaining to watch and very visual.

Who is this play aimed at?
Abilities can differ from school to school, but this play has been pitched and translated for Year 9 and 10's and/or students who have been learning German for two years or more. With previous performances many schools have brought in Year 8's and felt that they have enjoyed the plays and gained a lot from them. Your year 11's will also gain a great deal from this play and should not miss out on a valuable experience.

Details
This play, as with all our language plays, is performed by two actors, one male and one female. The set up takes 30 minutes. The play lasts 50 minutes.
Our main concern is that all the students watching can see the performances, so where possible we prefer to perform on a stage or in a studio with raised seating. If you do not have a stage and there will be a large audience can some of them sit on the floor.

  • Personal items
