Classics to laugh

The most entertaining morning of theatre in the Fogar. The company Face2face delighted us with two plays that adapt two classics of English literature: Frankenstein, a novel written by Mary Shelley and Macbeth, a tragedy written by William Shakespeare.

Brad and Janet's car breaks down on a deserted road in the middle of a storm. There is a light on in the distance. They decide to seek help at the sinister-looking castle on top of the hill. Dr Frankenstein is throwing a wild party to celebrate the birth of his latest creation, and he welcomes the young couple into his dark and mysterious abode. He will help them ... but at a price.

Face 2 Face sets Shakespeare's famous tragedy in a fast-good restaurant, where Macbeth is a conniving kitchen boy. This tragedy adeptly converted into social satire illustrates how the Macbeth couple's amibition and unbridled greed drives them to ruin while the audience cracks up laughing.

Fear, tragedy and lots of laughs for our Primary and Secondary students, that also took part on the scene.

Little Red in the Fogar

On the 17th of December, Red in the Hood arrived to «the Fogar» at last, and shows all the funny things you can imagine: a crazy cat, a foolish and bad wolf, a friendly granny and the most beautiful and the most intelligent Little Red you have ever seen.

All of us enjoy the most, although the wolf was sometimes scared, we have a lot of fun!!!!!

We recommend you this fantastic play: Red in the Hood. Here you have some photos of that great day!

Tarzan was with us!

An aeroplane crashes in the middle of the jungle. The only survivor is a small boy who is adopted by monkeys. The boy grows up to become Tarzan, lord of the apes.

Un avión estrélase no medio da xungla. O único supervivente é un bebé que é adoptado por uns monos. O neno medra ata se converter en Tarzán, o rei dos simios.

Así comeza Tarzan of the Apes (1912), a novela de aventuras do escritor estadounidense Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Convidado polo noso Departamento de Inglés, este heroe da xungla deixouse caer o pasado mércores 26 de marzo polo Fogar, da man da compañía madrileña Face 2 Face. Un espectáculo vibrante e cheo de humor, integramente en inglés, que fixo as delicias dos alumnos e alumnas do 2.º e 3.º ciclos de EP e tamén dos do 1.º curso de ESO.

Entre carreiras, zoupadas, brincadeiras, bailes e cancións, coñecemos as peripecias dun Tarzán algo pasmón, do seu mellor amigo Cheetah, da intrépida xornalista Jane e do malvado cazador Archie. Iso si, coa inestimable colaboración dos actores e actrices «da casa». Que arte sobre o escenario!

Unha experiencia de teatro en inglés que, de seguro, poderemos repetir. It will be fun!
