Onatti Theatre Production
On Thursday 26th June, students in Year 8, students in Year 9 who have chosen to study French next year and those studying GCSE French in Year 10 were able to experience French language theatre.
The Onatti Theatre Company visited Townsend School and performed their French language play “Prendre Sa Revanche” (Take Your Revenge), a comedy developed especially for secondary school pupils who are learning French.
Two antique dealers try to fool customers by passing off fake artifacts as real, but this time they are made to be the fools! Revenge comes when they try to con someone who’s quick thinking who turns the tables on these two unscrupulous dealers.
The play was performed completely in French by French actors, but is very accessible due to the action and its interactive nature and there was much laughter. In the Languages department, we feel that experiencing the culture of a country is an essential part of developing your understanding and knowledge of a language and we hope students enjoyed this opportunity.
