Theater in English is an opportunity to effectively and quickly learn the language, the so-called "living word", in which plays and works of art are written, which are used as the basis for performances. Comparisons, hyperboles, metaphors and other numerous literary and linguistic techniques allow not only learning, but understanding, mentally realizing the depth, structure and character of Shakespeare's language. A theater studio in English is one of the most effective, successful and efficient methods of language schools. Children's English theaters show especially impressive results due to their special flexibility, sensitivity of children's memory, logic and ability to learn languages.

Theater in English in Moscow is an immersion in the environment of modern and traditional London theater, in the world of drama and vivid images. For children, the main thing in learning is impression, and the world of theater gives the brightest emotions. In an English theater studio, a child is not just watching a play. He is a participant. Creator and doer. Understanding, feeling the meaning of the presentation, children learn to think in English, technically, intuitively choosing correctly, using words and expressions, avoiding mistakes inherent in "non-native speakers" of the language.

After a short time, those who visit the theater in English demonstrate:

A higher level of its development, manifested, inter alia, in an increase in school performance in the English language;
Ability to independently construct phrases, change, correctly apply words and expressions.

How are the classes

A theater studio in English enrolls schoolchildren from the age of 10. It is possible to agree if the age has not reached 10 years. After passing the test for knowledge of English, the children, together with the teacher, stage the performance in English, most of the time communicating in it.

The canterville ghost

By Oscar Wilde

Cast:

Mr. James B. Otis, American Minister
Mrs. Otis, his wife
Mr. Washington Otis, his elder son, 23.
Miss Virginia Otis, his daughter, 18
Naughty twins
Lord canterville
Mrs. Umney, the housekeeper

8. The Canterville Ghost

Scene I

(The curtain is closed. A piece of music sounds, conveying the mood of the performance. The curtain opens. A room in the castle - a fireplace, a table with a tablecloth, a couple of armchairs, a window. Outside the window you can see a dry branch of a tree. Lord Canterville and Mr. Otis are looking through papers. Otis with a cigar in his mouth )

Lord - So, sir, as I told you before, here, in our old castle lives a ghost. He has been living here for more than 300 years.

Mr. Otis - Rubbish! We, Americans don’t believe in all these things. We live in an advanced country, where you can buy everything ... for money.

Lord - But not a ghost! I'm afraid that the Canterville ghost exists. Usually he appears just before the death of the family member.

Mr.O - In such cases only a doctor can help. The laws of nature are the same in Britain and in America.

Lord - You, Americans, have always been so close to nature ... But if you take the castle together with the Ghost, it's all right. Don’t forget I’ve warned you.

(Bend over to sign papers, thunder rolls, lights flash and go out)

Mr. O - Poor old England! Something wrong with electricity ... Doesn’t matter ...

(Pulls out flashlight, sign papers, shake hands, noise outside the door, Mr. Otis's family enters, light)

Mr.O -Oh, here they are. Let me introduce you my family: my wife, Mrs. Otis, my elder son, Washington- a future diplomat. My daughter Virginia, she is very good at horse riding. And here are my twins- we call them “The stars and stripes’, you see, because I have to whip them for their monkey tricks sometimes.

Lord - Glad to meet you. And here is Missis Umney, the housekeeper. She will show you to your rooms.

Mrs. O - Look, there is something on the cloth! What could it be?

Mrs. Amny - It's blood, Missis. Just on this place Lady Eleanor Canterville was killed by her husband, Sir Simon Canterville in the year 1575. Having done so he disappeared and his body was never found. The tourists who come to the castle like watching this spot of blood. It’s impossible to take it away.

Mr. Wash - That is all nonsense! Pinkerton's Stain remover will clean it up in no time!

(Waters the tablecloth with cleaner, shows everyone clean)

It never lets me down!

(Lightning flash, thunder. Mrs. Amney faints)

Mrs. O - What a monstrous climate! Will she fall down every time when she hears some noise? Mrs. Umney, get up, its time for supper. Would you join us, Lord Centerville?

(Everyone leaves the stage for supper, the lights go out, disturbing music sounds)

Scene II

(Night in the castle. A lamp is on in the room. Mr. Otis sits in an armchair, reads, puts his book aside)

Mr. O –Well, it was a hard day. It's time to go to bed. (Looks at watch) It's twelve! So late! (Stretches, yawns, sees a stain on the tablecloth) –Hm, what color is it now? Yellow? Isn’t it strange? But what’s this? (He listens. Footsteps are heard, the clang of metal) Am I tired? (Checks the pulse) Or ill? (Touches his forehead. Sounds are heard more and more distinctly. He goes to the bag, rummages in it, looks at different bottles, finds the right one)

That will help! (Leaves his room, sees a ghost, in rags, with chains on his hands)

Sir, I have to ask you to oil your chains from this time onwards not to bother my family at night. Just for this purpose you can use this wonderful American oil “The rising sun of democracy”. The instruction is given. If you want some more, let me know. Good night, sir. (He leaves to his room. The ghost grabs the bottle, reads, throws it on the floor, leaves, moaning dully. Before he has time to walk a few steps, a pillow flies at him, you can hear the twins giggling, howling with indignation,

Gh - I'll take revenge! Shakes with chains, runs away)

(In the ghost's room: goes through the wardrobe, looking for an image to intimidate:

GH- Shall I put on this- to remind them a vampire? Or this- I remember Lady Johns fainted having seen me in her mirror. Probably this armor will do? Sir Statfield died immediately when he saw me in his wardrobe staying with a sward. No, no! I'll put on a shroud and play the part of Crazy Martin. That will work, I know! (He puts on a shroud, smears his face with green, takes a dagger, goes out. Creeps in the dark - the clock strikes - freezes, listens, goes on, muttering curses, waving a dagger - and suddenly bumps into another ghost with a sign on his chest. screams, runs into himself, hides headlong under the rags. Fights fear, pride takes over)

GH- No, never Simon Canterville was a coward! I'll make acquaintance with this powerful ghost and we'll fight together! We’ll show these Americans! We’ll make them estimate us! (He resolutely walks back, approaches the ghost, his head falls off. With trembling hands he takes the tablet, reads:

The Otis Ghost. The only trueand original ghost .Beware of imitations!

(Raises his hands to the sky:

GH- They've played a trick! On me! Murder! No sooner the moon would rise again a murder would come to Canterville House! (Rooster cries) Damned bird! It's time to get back! (He walks backwards, his legs slide, falls, gets up, groaning, rubbing his back, looks at his hands

What’s the hell is this? Oil? I know who has done it- these hellish twins!

Twins : Here we are, sir! (They jump out with a squeal, spit on the ghost with peas from the tubes, he rushes about, covers his face with his hands. Mr. Otis jumps out at the noise with a candle and a revolver in his hands):

Mr. O - Hands up!

(The ghost blows on the candle, runs away, howling, stops, takes a breath, lets out a devilish laugh, Mrs. Otis comes out with a potion in her hands)

Mrs. O - Are you OK? I think you have a bad cough. Take this medicine three times a day and it will surely help you!

(Grabs a bottle from her, drinks in one gulp, groans, the twins sneak up to him with a rope, shout in his ear. He, groaning, is carried away to him)

(Morning, Washington drinks coffee, examines the stain on the tablecloth)

Wash ... - Don’t you think the spot has changed its color. It was first red, then yellow? And now? Look? It's green! Does it mean that my Pinkerton Stain remover doesn’t work properly? I should write to the firm a reclamation letter. (Virginia enters) - Virginia! Here you are! We go for a walk to the forest all together. Will you join us?

Virg. –Oh, yes, Wash, in a moment. I’ve forgotten my gloves.

Wash ... - So, be quick. We’ll be waiting for you in the park. (She leaves, Virginia goes to her place for gloves. At this time a ghost enters. He is depressed, fearfully looks around, listens, shudders, hearing the voices of the twins, goes to the window, sits down, freezes, looking thoughtfully out the window. Virginia enters. At first he is frightened, wants leave, then stops, looks at him carefully, his face becomes sympathetic, silently approaches him.)

Virg. - Sorry to trouble you, sir. I just wanted to say how much I am sorry for you! Tomorrow my brothers are going back to school. Nobody will offend you, if you promise to behave well.

Virg

Virg.

Gh - I am afraid, no, young lady. I have gone without food for 300 years. But it was rather nice of you to offer me a sandwich. Cheese, you say? You are a nice young lady, much better than all your American family!

Virg. - You mustn’t say so! It’s you who is awful! Who has stolen all my paints to renew this stupid blood spot! First you took the reds so that I couldn’t paint sunsets, then you stole the yellow ones. And yesterday you took the green emerald! How could blood be green?

Virg - Every American family would be glad to have a true family ghost. Would you like me to ask my dad? He could buy you a ticket to America.

Virg.

Virg-

Virg- Oh, my poor, miserable ghost! Don’t you know such a place where you could fall asleep?

Gh -Yes, I do. Far-far away there is a small garden, the grass is long and soft there, the flowers are as white as stars and a nightingale sings there all the night.

Virg - You are speaking about the garden of death, don’t you?

Virg - Me?

Virg

(Music plays)

Virg. - Sorry to trouble you, sir. I just wanted to say how much I am sorry for you! Tomorrow my brothers are going back to school. Nobody is going to offend you, if you promise to behave well.

Gh ... - But how can I behave well? I am a ghost! I must walk at night, must moan, and must clank my chains! This is the reason of my existence.

Virg ... - I see no reason in it. Mrs. Umney told us you had killed your wife.

Gh ... –Yes, I had. But it's my own business.

Virg. - No, it isn't. It's very bad to kill people.

Gh- But you didn’t know her. She was ugly! Besides she couldn’t cook at all. Yes, I killed her, but why did her brothers made me die of hunger?

Virg. - You died of hunger? Poor mister Ghost! Are you still hungry? I've got some cheese sandwiches. Would you like one?

Virg. - You mustn’t say so! It’s you who is awful! Who has stolen my paints to renew this stupid blood spot !? First you took all the reds ones and I couldn’t paint sunsets, then you stole the yellow ones. And yesterday you took the green emerald! How could blood be green?

Gh - But what should I do! It's too difficult now to find real blood. You say “green” - well, why not? We, the Canterville have the blue blood. But I think you Americans don’t mind.

Virg - Why? You should go to America. Every American family would be glad to have a true family ghost.

Gh - I’m afraid, I don’t like your America.

Virg. - OK, sir, stay alone then. (about to leave, the ghost rushes after her)

Gh - Don’t leave, miss Virginia, I beg you! I'm so lonely and unhappy. I don’t know what to do! Most of all I’d like to fall asleep, but I can’t.

Virg- You should just go to bed and close your eyes.

Gh - It’s impossible. I haven’t been sleeping for 300 years! I feel so tired!

Virg- Oh, my poor, miserable ghost! Do you know such a place where you could fall asleep?

Gh -Yes, I do. Far-far away there is a small garden, the grass is long and soft there, the flowers are as white as stars and a bird is singing there all the night.

Virg - The garden of death?

GH- Yes, my child. How nice it would be to rest there. And this is you who can open me the gates of this garden.

Virg - Me?

Gh - Yes, you. Have you ever read the oracle on the window?

Virg- Yes, I’ve read it many times. I remember it:

When young and pure virgin will deliver a pray

From all her heart to gracious skies,

When almond tree will blossom in the moonlight

The Ghost will stop his endless painful flight

And washed with tears prediction will fulfill

And peace would come again to Canterville

But I don’t understand what it means.

Gh - It means that if you cry for me and pray for my soul, the Angel of Death would be merciful to me. It won’t be easy for you, as demons would scare you, but if you stay kind and pure and loving as you are they won’t do any harm to you.

(Virginia does not raise her head, the ghost, looking at her, wringing her hands, suddenly the girl gets up)

Virg- I am not scared. I’ll pray for you and the Angel of Death would become merciful.

(The ghost exclaims joyfully, comes up, bows with old-fashioned grace, kisses her hand. He leads her by the hand across the hall. Thunder rumbles, lights flash, disturbing music sounds, the lights go out)

GH- Quick! Quick! Or it will be too late!

(The music continues, the lights go off, the lights come on, onstage Mrs. Otis sits in a chair, wipes her eyes, Mr. Otis walks nervously, Mrs. Amney pours water into a glass, brings Mrs. Otis, runs in Washington).

Wash - Mum, dad, I haven’t found her anywhere!

Twins - (they run in alarmed, out of breath, with flashlights in their hands) - We have looked for her in the garden. She has disappeared!

Mr. Otis ( pacing nervously around the room) - Virginia should have told us where she went.

Mrs. Otis –Stop it, James! Our girl has disappeared! Someone has kidnapped her!

Mrs. Umeny - It's the ghost! I’ve told you how dangerous he is!

Wash ... - Rubbish! She’ll be back, I know! She's just reading or painting in some corner.

(The clock strikes, mesmerizing music sounds, Virginia enters with a small box in her hands)

Mrs. Otis - My girl! Oh, Lord! Where have you been? We’ve been looking for you everywhere!

Mr. Otis - Please, never else play such tricks any more!

Twins- Play trick only on the ghost! Only on the ghost!

Virg - Papa, he has died. I've been with him all the evening. He had done a lot of bad things, but he was very sorry. The Angel of Death came for him, now he rests in peace. He has left me this box of treasures.

Twins - Look! The dry almond tree has blossomed! There are flowers in moonlight! We can see them!

Virg - God has forgiven him! And you all- forgive him! Poor sir Simon! He showed me what Life is and what Death means. And now I know that Love is stronger than both!

Mowgli

after Rudyard Kipling

On stage: the background is the noise of the jungle. Baloo and Bagheera are lying, Mowgli is trying to get a fire-rubbing stick.

Mo. –Look! Look! Baloo! Bagheera! It's a wonder! How beautiful this red flower is! Oh, it's hot!

Boo- Stop it, Little Frog, It’s a dangerous flower. It can hurt you and us all.

Mo-Not, it can't! I am its master!

Boo- Master! Look at him! Come here, man-cub, and tell Bagheera the Master words I have taught you.

Mo- The jungle has many languages. Which shall I speak?

Boo- Say Mater words the birds.

Mo-We be of one blood, you and I! (whistles)

Boo- And for the Snake-people?

Mo- hisses We be of one blood, you and I!

Ba- Well done, Little Brother. But remember, there is no word for Monkey-people.

Mo- Never mind! I'll become their leader, I'll jump all day in the trees, eat bananas and throw dirt at old Baloo. (shows it all)

Bo- (knocks him down with a paw) You talked to Monkey –People!

Mo-And they cared about me when you hurt me!

Bo-What a shame!

Mo-And they gave me nuts and tasty things to eat. They say I am their blood-brother. They want me to be their leader!

Bo-Listen to me, foolish man-cub! They are very-very bad. They have no law. They are dirty and shameless. They are forbidden. Never talk to them. (hail of nuts)

Ba-We do not notice them. Never play or go with them. (hail of nuts) -Bagira gets up, growls menacingly, Baloo too. Behind the scene, monkeys crackling, stomping)

MO- OK, OK, I promise I never play or go with them.

Bo- All right, then. And now go to sleep. Night has come to the jungle. (Music, the light fades, Mowgli builds himself a hut of branches, lies down, the light goes out, Banderlog appears in the foreground, sneak)

М1- Hush! They are sleeping!

M2-Look! The man-cub is sleeping in a hut!

M3-How clever he is!

M4-Wow! He can get a red flower! (Sniffs ember)

M3-How clever he is!

M1- We want him to be our leader!

M2- We’ll live in huts!

M4-We’ll be warm!

M3-How clever we are!

(Dance of the monkeys, then they sneak up, grab Mowgli by the arms and legs and quickly carry him away, then appear on the stage, he is already walking, they drag him by the arms)

M1-Run, Monkey-Brother, run!

Mo-I am tired. let me have a rest!

M2-Just for one minute. We’ll bring bananas and water / (run away)

A kite arrives.

Chil -Who are you, man-cub?

Mo- We are of one blood, you and I. Tell Baloo and Bagheera where I am.

Chil-In whose name, little Brother?

Mo-Mowgli, the Frog.

Chil-I’ll fly and tell them at once! (flies away)

The monkeys return, make a hubbub, eat the bananas themselves, Mowgli gets nothing. They grab him and drag him on. The kite arrives at Bal and Bagheera.

Chil-Hello, Brothers! Hurry up! The man-cub is in danger!

Ba- Have you seen him?

Chil-yes, and he said Master Words to me.

Bo-Such a clever frog!

Chil-The banderlogs are carrying him to the dead city. They can hurt him!

Bo-Oh, poor man-cub! Fool that I am! Fat, brown fool that I am! How can we get them, they jump high. They are not afraid of us!

Ba- I know where we go! WE go to Kaa, the Rock Snake. He can climb. He takes young monkeys at night. They are afraid of him, only of him!

(music, go to Kaa. He is basking in the sun)

Ba- Good hunting, Kaa!

Kaa-Good hunting to us all. BALOO, Bagheera, what are you doing here.

Ba- We are going to hunt.

Kaa- Let me come with you. I am so hungry!

Ba- I don’t know if you like it. We are hunting for monkeys.

Kaa-Hiss, they are evil. They call me a footless yellow earth-worm.

Ba- Yes, they do. And today they’ve cried you lost your teeth and you are too old to hunt.

Kasa- Me? Old to hunt? Lost my teeth? Hiss! They also called me a fish.

Ba- Yes, a fish. And an earth-worm.

Kaa-We must teach them to speak to their master. As-sh! Where are they?

Boo-Chil said they went to the dead city.

Kaa-All one. Let us go on. (They leave. Dead city. Mowgli among the monkeys.)

Ma- I want to eat. Let me hunt!

M1- No, stay here. We’ll bring you food. (they run away, come running with fruit, start pushing, drop everything in a fight. Mowgli tries to leave, catch up with him, drag him back. They say, interrupting each other)

M2- No, no! Don’t leave us! It's so foolish!

M3- We are great!

M4- We are wonderful!

M1- Stay with us!

M2-Be our leader!

M3- We are the best!

M4- What we say is true!

M1-Look! There is a Black Panther.

M2- He is alone! Kill him! (All the Banderlogs rush to Bagheera)

M3- (guarding Mowgli) Stay here! We’ll kill your friend!

Boo- I am here! I am climbing! I hurry! Oh, the most infamous banderlog! (Enters the battle)

Music, a spot of light on the emerging Kaa.

M1234-stop. - It's Kaa! It's Kaa! Run! Run!

Mo-We be of one blood, you and I. You gave me life tonight, Kaa.

Kaa-All thanks, Little Brother.

Mo-If ever you are in a trap, I'll pay the debt.

Kaa-Well said. A brave heart and a clever tongue. And now go and sleep. It’s not well for you to see what’s going on here.

(Ba, Boo, Mo- go away, fakir music, light fades)

Kaa- The moon sets. Can you see me, banderlogs?

M1234- We see you, Kaa!

Kaa- Begins now the dance. Sit still and watch! (Kaa dance)

Kaa- Banderlogs, can you move your foot without my order?

M1234- No, Kaa!

Kaa- Good, come nearer to me! ... Closer! ... Closer!

(Bagheera and Baloo try to return, Mowgli restrains them:

Mo- No! You stay with me!

Ba- Keep your hand! Or I must go!

Boo- I must go!

Mo- No, friends! We’ll keep together! Forever!

(The curtain slowly closes - the Banderlogs are getting closer and closer to Kaa)

Prof.- You know, Pickering, a shilling ... her shilling is the same as 60 pounds of a millionaire. It "s the biggest offer you" ve ever had, Higgins. 60 pounds!

El .- 60 pounds? Where would I get 60 pounds? I never offered you 60 pounds!

Prof.- Oh, don "t cry, silly girl. Nobody is going to touch your money.

El .- What "s this?

Pick. - To wipe your eyes. That "s your handkerchief. Use it, not your sleeve.

Higgins, it "s really interesting. I" ll say you are the greatest teacher in the world if you can make a

queen of this lady in six months. I "ll pay for her lessons.

El .- You are real good. Thank you, captain.

Prof.- It "s nearly impossible. She is so deliciously low, so horrible dirty!

El .- I ain "t dirty! I washed my face and hands before I come, I did!

Prof.- Mrs. Pearce, take her away. Take off all her closes and burn them.

El .- You are not a gentleman to talk so. It "s my best dress!

Mrs. P -I "ll wrap it in a brown paper. But where shall I put her?

Prof. - Put her in a dustbin!

El .- Me?

Prof.- Mew?

Mrs. P - Do be sensible, sir. I "ll put her in the bath first. And you" ll sleep in a proper bedroom. Come with

me, Eliza.

Prof.- So, Pickering, in six month, no, in three month, I "ll make a queen out of this dirty chicken. You" ll

see!

El .-

You "ll be sorry, but your tears" ll be to late!

You "ll be broke, and I" ll have money;

Will I help you? Don "t be funny!

Just you wait, "enry" iggins, just you wait!

Just you wait, "enry" iggins, till you "re sick,

And you scream to fetch a doctor double-quick.

I "ll be off a second later And go straight to the the-ateri

Oh ho ho, "enry" iggins, just you wait!

Ooooooh "enry" iggins! Just you wait until we "re swimmin" in the sea!

Ooooooh "enry" iggins!

And you get a cramp a little ways from me!

When you yell you "re going to drown I" ll get dressed

and go to town! Oh ho ho, "enry" iggins!

Oh ho ho, "enry" iggins! Just you wait!

One day I "ll be famous! I" ll be proper and prim;

Go to St. James so often I will call it St. Jim!

One evening the king will say:

"Oh, Liza, old thing,

I want all of England your praises to sing. Next week on the twentieth of May

I proclaim Liza Doolittle Day!

All the people will celebrate the glory of you

And whatever you wish and want I gladly will do. "

"Thanks a lot, King" says I, in a manner well-bred;

But all I want is "enry" iggins "ead!"

"Done," says the King with a stroke.

"Guard, run and bring in the bloke!"

Then they "ll march you," enry "iggins to the wall;

And the King will tell me: "Liza, sound the call."

As they lift their rifles higher, I "ll shout:

"Ready! Aim! Fire!"

Oh ho ho, "enry" iggins,

Down you "ll go," enry "iggins!

Just you wait!

Scene IV

Mrs. P - Three months of hard work, day and night. First I was sure she won "t cope. But she did it! From my pard I did my best to teach her good manners. It was really difficult to make up a lady of a ... well, a ... common girl she was. But now! Now she knows what is her handkerchief for. And she takes bath every day. And she dances and walks, and speaks as a lady. Frankly speaking, I like her. She is a good girl, a hardworking girl . To my mind, probably I shouldn "t speak on this, but to my mind Professor has fallen .. .in love with her. It "s not surprisingly at all, because he created her. He is like Pygmalion ...

Prof.- So, Pickering, are you ready for the ball?

Pick.- Yes, Professor, I am. But where is Eliza?

Prof.- Eliza! Hurry up!

Pick.- You are a beauty!

Prof.- Not bad, Eliza. You look quite decent.

How kind of you to let me come!

Pick.- Bravo!

In Hampshire hurricanes hardly happen.

Pick. - Bravissimo. Go on!

The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain.

Prof.- We are making progress. So what about this rain?

Eliza: The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain!

Prof.- By George, she "s got it! By George, she" s got it! Now, once again where does it rain?

Eliza- On the plain!

On the plain!

Prof .: A nd where "s that soggy plain?
Eliza: In Spain! In Spain!

The three:

The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain! The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain!

Prof. - By George, she did it!

Pick.- Yes, Henry. But not only she. You did it.

Pick.-

You did it! You did it!

You said that you would do it

And indeed you did.

This evening, sir, you did it!

You did it! You did it!

We know that we have said it,

But-you did it and the credit

For it all belongs to you!

We did it! We did it!

We said that we would do it

And indeed we did.

This evening, friends, we did it!

Robin hood

Jester: (sings in a recitative, like a medieval minstrel)Once there was a lad that killed a King’s deer,

And gave its meat to his mother.

So he was to be hung at Nottingham Fair

And with him five another ...

Guard: Listen! The Sheriff is coming to his castle in Nottingham!

Soldier: Where’s the Sheriff?

Guard: Here. What do you want? Who is this man?

Soldier: He is a Saxon. We caught him in the forest. He killed a King's deer!

Sheriff: What? Did I hear correctly? Killed a King’s deer ?!

John: We had no food. I had to kill it! I must feed my family!

Sheriff: How often must I tell you, people? The forest belongs to the King! The animals belong to the King! You mustn’t kill them! Hang him!

John: We were hungry. We had nothing to eat!

Sheriff: Take him away! You’ll be hung tomorrow!

(singing) Look! They want to eat!

To have their piece of meat!

But their only right is to work all day

And to bring me money with no delay.

Or I'll kill them, I'll hang them!

For I’m the Sheriff of Nottingham!

The curtain opens - on the stage the town square, traders with baskets, one of them sells apples:

Robin: Come and have a look! The best apples for a trifle! Take five-I’ll give you a knife! Take ten-you’ll get a hen!

Sherif: What are you doing? Why do you sell apples so cheap?

Robin: My father left me a large apple garden, I don’t know what to do with the apples, so I give them to people.

Sherif: Sell me your garden. Where is it?

Robin: Not far from here, sir. I'll show you. But first I'd like to see the city.

Sherif: What do you want to see? Here's the castle and the prison. I’ve got five of Robin Hood’s men there. Come to the fair tomorrow and you’ll see us hung them.

Robin: Well, I'll come tomorrow. And now follow me. (leave the stage, the curtain closes)

Sherif: We have gone so far, where is your apple garden?

Robin: We have come –here it is!

Sherif: But this is not a garden - this is Sherwood forest! And there lives….

Robin: Robin Hood? Yes, I do! (takes off his hat and cloak) Welcome to my place! We've got a lot of apples over here. And here is one for you! (takes out an apple and puts it on the sheriff's head, the curtain opens, archers stand on the stage, aiming their bows at the sheriff)

How much would you pay for your apple? (the sheriff trembles with fear, takes out his wallet, gives it to Robin)

Robin: No, it’s not enough, give us your ring also. (sheriff gives his ring)

Now you may go, but don’t forget you’ve got a lot of friends in Sherwood. Don’t leave your apple!

(the sheriff runs away)

Brothers (whistle after him, then dance and sing)

Hey-ho, brotthers,

Our homeland is Sherwood,

With no King, with no Sherif

Our life is very good! (a curtain)

Jester: The sweetest apples grow in Sherwood,

The sheriff will never forget,

He wants to catch our friend Robin Hood,

But never he will Robin get! (the curtain opens, on the stage Robin Hood and his friend the monk Tak)

Tuck: So what have you decided to do, Robin?

Robin: I'm going to Nottingham fair. You and the brothers follow me. Let’s see what we can do to save John and our men from the Sherif.

Tuck: But how do you want to enter the city? Sherif is looking for you everywhere!

Robin: Don’t worry, I’ll invent somethig.

Tuck: Good bye, Robin, take care!

Robin: Meet you at the fair, fat monk!

(Robin walks through the woods and meets a beggar)

Robin: Good morning, poor man. Where are you going?

Beggar: To Nottingham, sir. I don’t have any money on me. Look, sir, only empty pockets. May I go further by my way?

Robin: No, stay where you are. I like your clothes.

Beggar: My clothes? But they are so old and shabby! Who needs them?

Robin: I do. Put them off.

Beggar: Oh, sir, if you take my clothes, what shall I wear?

Robin: I'll give you good money for them. Four gold coins.

Beggar: Four gold coins for these? Are you kidding? You must be a king to pay four gold coins for this rubbish. But you are not a king. Oh, I know who you are! Here, my clothes, my shoes, everything!

Robin: Wait! I don’t need everything! Pooh! Your shoes are so smelly! But here you are. Four gold coins and your new clothes.

Beggar: For me? New clothes and four gold coins? I feel like a new man!

Robin: You are a new man. And I am a poor beggar. Sorry, I must go. I should get to Nottingham quickly. Good bye and thank you!

Beggar: Thank you, good man. Thank you, R ...

(dancing and singing)

I was a poor beggar,

But one day in the wood

I met a man, he gave me gold,

His name was Robin Hood!

Do you know his name?

If you do, don’t say!

He is so brave, he is so kind,

This man in long green hood,

All poor people praise his name

For he is Robin Hood!

Do you know his name?

If you do, don’t say!

(People gather in the square, soldiers come out, music sounds - the sheriff enters)

Sherif: Quiet! You know the law! These men are criminals! They killed the King's deer! They must die! Who of you will come and kill them? I give forty gold coins to the man who hangs them. But remember, he must be a Saxon, because according to the law only Saxons can kill Saxons.

Robin: I'll hang them for that money.

Sherif: Are you a Saxon?

Robin: Ye, I am. Give me the money and I'll hang them gladly!

Sherif: Here is your money. Hurry up, hang them! (drums)

Robin: Stop. First I must hear their confession. It’s also a law, isn’t it, Sheriff? (walks up to the forest brothers, standing in the crowd with their hooded faces, whispering to them)

Sherif: Come on. Perform your job quickly, beggar. I want to have my dinner.

Robin: Dinner? Some more apples for dinner, Sherif? (pulls out a horn, gives a signal, people in the crowd take off their hoods, attack the guards, free the brothers, everyone runs away)

Sherif: Catch them, why are you staying here? The city is full of Robin Hood's men!

Jester:

Ha-ha-ha! What a day!

Robin helped them to escape!

Ha-ha-ha! All Saxons laugh!

Robin Hood is our love!

Robin: Welcome to Sherwood, brothers! We need good shooters to fight the Sherif.

Tuck: Dont 'worry. We’ll help your mother. We’ll send her food and money.

Brothers: Thank you, friends. We’ve always dreamt to stay with you and to fight for all the poor!

Robin: Let me introduce you my stuff. Here are my best shooters!

(curtain opens, brothers sing and dance)

Hey-ho, brothers,

We all live in Sherwood!

With no King, with no Sherif

Our life is very good!

Robin: So these are my brave men!

Marian: And women!

Robin: And a woman- the most beautiful woman of Sherwood forest- Maid Marian.

Marian: Thank you, Robin. Don’t be so pompous! Half of your “brothers” are women!

Robin: What do you mean, Marian?

Marian: I mean what I say: half of your brothers are ... sisters! Girls, he doesn't believe. Let’s persuade him! Our hero! Our glorious Robin! He thinks only men can firght properly!

(girls are dancing)

Marian: Robin, how do you feel?

Robin: I'm overhelmed, thrilled, stuperfied! My best shooters are women!

Marian: We also want to fight for freedom and justice! We dont ’like just sitting at home changing nappies and cooking!

Tuck: Cooking! Marian, I want to eat again!

Marian: Then go and cook your meal yourself!

Tuck: But you must cook for me! You are a woman!

Marian: I must? Not in this play! Have you ever seen a law saying women MUST cook? So, go and find it, then I'll cook for you. And meanwhile you may eat this. (gives him an apple)

Robin: Stop, you two! Don’t argue. Only all together we can win over the King and the Sherif. Let’s better sing our song!

We live in this green forest, the forest of Sherwood

We fight the rich, we help the poor with our Robin Hood!

Jetser: And if you are in danger or needing any help,

Just say this name, just say this name,

Just say this name again!

All together: Robin Hood! Robin Hood! And life will change for good!

(bows)

Jester: Let me introduce the company:

Robin Hood - the brave hero of Sherwood

Prior Tuck- our favorite fat monk

Maid Marion- the most beautiful woman of Sherwood

Brothers and sisters- Robin Hood's shooters who fight with him for freedom

And some day we’ll certainly win, because we are all

FRIENDS!

King midas

Once upon a time, in ancient Greece….

Sorry, where? In Paris?

No, in ancient Greece. There lived a powerful king. His name was Midas.

Who? Adidas?

No, he was King Midas, my dear.

Oh, I see. King Midas. Was he young? Rich? Handsome?

He was OK. Neither young, nor handsome. But he was very rich.

You've said “rich”? How rich? As Bill Gaits? Or, probably, as Abramovich?

I don’t know exactly. He had a lot of money. But ...

But what? Why do you say “but”?

But he was a little greedy.

Greedy? I don’t like greedy men.

But he was.

King Midas was a rich man,

But a little greedy too.

One day his wish came true.

Came true? Really? Tell us, what happened.

Well, are you sure you want to know?

Yes, we do!

Then let’s go to his palace, to ancient Greece.

Scene I

King: Good afternoon, old man. Who are you?

Old man: I am a poor man. Can you give me something to eat?

King: Yes, certainly. Sit next to me and be my guest. Bring us wine and fruit, cheese and olives to eat!

Old man: Thank you! You are very kind, King Midas!

(thunder, flash of light, Dionysus appears)

King: Oh, who are you?

Dionysus: I am the god Dionysus. I want to thank you for being so kind to my friend and my teacher.

King: Is this old man your friend and your teacher?

Dion .: Yes, he is. You are a kind man, Midas. I can do whatever you like. Tell me your wish.

King: I want everything I touch to turn gold.

Dion. But you are very rich now, Midas. Are you sure that’s what you want?

King: Oh, yes, I am sure.

Dion .: Let it be so! The Gods of Olympus! I give this man power to turn everything he touches into gold. (Thunder, flashes)

King: Look, everything I touch turns to gold! The trees are gold, the flowers are gold and the stones are gold! Amazing!

A flower a cup of wine.

And all this gold is mine!

King: Let everyone eat and drink! Soon I will become the richest man in the world!

Oh, no! My wine is gold and my sweets are also gold! I can’t eat or drink! I will die!

“What shall I do?” - he said.

I wish my bread was bread! ”

King: Dionysus, kind god! Please, help me. I am a greedy man. I made a bad wish. Come and save me!

Dion. : You are a good man. But greed is a terrible thing. Take this water and wash your face and hands with it.

King: Thank you, Dionysus! I am all right now.

And King Midas was never greedy again.

You cannot buy for gold!

Take a bow, sing King Midas, dance

King Midas was a rich man,

But a little greedy too.

He wished he could have lots more gold,

One day his wish came true.

He touched a leaf, a loaf of bread

A flower a cup of wine.

King Midas laughed "They've turned to gold!"

And all this gold is mine!

King Midas could not eat or drink

“What shall I do?” - he said.

“I wish my cup of wine was wine,

I wish my bread was bread! ”

So live your life as it was done

Don’t think that money is all.

There are some things beneath the sun

You cannot buy for gold!

King Midas oh the secret of your touch
King Midas oh I like your smile so much
King Midas oh the way you spin me round
I'm going down down down to Vegas
