ONATTI THEATRE VIST
2nd February 2010 The Onatti theatre company are coming to Dumfries Academy on the
afternoon of Friday 19th February to put on a play in French for junior
pupils studying French. The play is called 'Le Chateau' and is a comedy
play delivered in French and English. The French is beginners level so
all the audience will be able to pick up some words! 'Le Chateau'
lasts around 50 minutes and the actors, one English and one French, are
happy to answer any pupil questions after they have packed their set away. This is a great opportunity for pupils to see French being used
out of the classroom and should be an extremely enjoyable experience
for all! Report by Chloe Ewart 1N1 and Louise McEwan 1N2.
