French Theatre Comes to St. Bede’s

On 17^th November  the Onatti Theatre Company came to St. Bede’s and performed “Shipwrecked en France” for Year 7 pupils. This was a fast-paced comedy about an English boy called Tyler who is on holiday in France. Tyler gets lost on the beach in his dinghy and has to find his way back to his parents and his hotel – unfortunately, no one speaks English. Tyler soon begins to wish that he had paid attention in his French lessons at school! With the help of some interesting characters he meets and lots of audience participation, he manages to survive his ordeal and re-joins his parents, but only after disguising himself to avoid arrest!

Year 7 enjoyed the performance and participated enthusiastically, by suggesting useful words and phrases in French and some of the pupils even became extras – inflating the dinghy and having a surfing lesson!
