Last 17th December, ECT (English Theatre Company) came to our school to perform the play “Just Another (Hollywood Victorian) Blockbuster” for our 5th and 6th graders.
J.A.B. is a comedy within a comedy. There are three main characters: Samantha, Brian and Sean. They’re friends and they’ve got their own small film production company. They have no money and very little experience.
One day they receive a letter from Hollywood. It’s a work offer to produce a horror movie. In the letter there’s also a big cheque.
Samantha, Sean and Brian have some ideas for the film. Frankestein, Dracula and Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde are some of these ideas.
The actors are young, expressive and close to pupils’ interests.
The play is very funny (hilarious indeed) and very interactive: pupils take part of the show all the time!

Lucky you kids, learning Englisg was not so funny back in my school days…
