French Theatre Performance from Onatti ‘Prendre Sa Revanche’
7 December 2024 - Academic
LIV and UIV were treated to an end of term surprise from the fabulous French theatre troupe Onatti, who performed their show Prendre sa Revanche. Centred around the story of two corrupt and incompetent antique dealers, the play was performed entirely in French by two native-speaking actors, and had the girls laughing from start to finish.
The show was fully immersive and thoroughly entertaining, and the girls were excellent participants in the show. They were invited up on stage several times to try their hand at acting en français. Playing dissatisfied customers, angry family members and a police detective, they were practising their speaking skills without even realising, learning lots of useful vocabulary along the way. As the play was written for an English-speaking audience, the girls followed the storyline very well and used their good knowledge of vocabulary and idiom to ensure they could understand what was happening.
Un grand merci to the Onatti troupe for entertaining and delighting the Fourth Form so thoroughly, immersing them so creatively in the French language. Due to very popular demand, we look forward to welcoming them back soon.
