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. STOP Shop,Showroom and 293 Main St..
