Stratford plays
BY LISA BOONSTOPPEL
As part of the curriculum for the
advanced English course, the
Shakespearean play “Hamlet” is
studied. “A man for all Seasons’ ’ a
play written by Robert Bolt is also
studied.
Mrs. Robinson, the teacher,
boght tickets for the Hamlet play
when they first went on sale eash
Mrs. Robinson, the teacher,
bought tickets for the Hamlet play
whentheyfirstwenton sale last
spring and, consequently, the
students had front row seats at
approximately one third the price
of the regular tickets. The 50
students who went to an afternoon
performance of Hamlet on Oct. 8
found the play a little disappoint
ing after they had studied it in
class. In class time several scenes
were re-enacted by the students
themselves and the students com
mented that these were more
dramatic and exciting.
Also on Oct. 8 in the evening, a
humourous take-off from the play
Hamlet, entitled “Rosencrantz
and Guildenstern are dead” was
viewed. The students enjoyed the
hilarity of the play and were an
appreciative audience.
Thefollowingday, Oct. 9, the
remaining 36 students saw an extra
performance put on by the cast of
Hamlet because the production
was a sold out performance.
The following week on Oct. 15,
80 students went to the play “A
man for all seasons’’. This play
wasn’t studied in class before as
Hamlet was so it was a different
experience. People found this play
very thought-provoking and since
itwas an idea play, could relate the
ideas to a certain situation.
All the plays were performed at
the Avon theatre in Stratford and
transportation to the site was
provided by the Huron County
Board of Education in the way of a
bus.
Mrs. Robinson feels that seeing
the plays is a must so that the
students can understand them
better as well as to bring the plays
to life.
