Update This play will now be availalble until December 2008! Written for a children who have just started learning French. This is our first play for beginners! 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 This is Ben's first ever school trip, his first ever trip to France and his first time skiing. He is known at school as the class clown so it comes as no surprise to learn that on his first day on the slopes his over-enthusiasm ends in an accident, hurting himself so badly that a trip to hospital is needed. His French teacher accompanies him but as soon as they arrive she is called away to deal with another emergency on the slopes. Ben, left to struggle on his own, soon realises nobody speaks English. The afternoon goes from awkward to embarrassing as Ben struggles to communicate with the nurses, doctors and the hospital staff! However, help is soon at hand when he is befriended by a French girl with some knowledge of English. Using his little French and her limited English they manage to communicate surprisingly well. When Ben's teacher finally returns she is shocked and surprised at how well Ben has coped and encouraged by his new enthusiasm for French. Parlez-vous français? 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.
