Сценарий мероприятия

Teacher - Imagine, dear friends, that we are not in the classroom but on TV. Today we are having a Satellite Link between Stratford-upon-Avon and Novy Oskol. Before we touch upon the problem of our discussion I want to introduce both groups of people in the T.V. studios. On the left of me you can see a group of teachers of English from Novy Oskol third school. Their pupils like them because all the teachers often play games with their pupils during the lessons. We will demonstrate the game which will help to guess the topic of our talk today. The game is called «Twenty Questions».

1. Did he live in England?

2. Was he a composer?

3. Was he a writer?

4. Was he an actor?

5. Is he W. Shakespeare?

Yes, it is W. Shakespear. No wonder because this year we are marking 400-th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death. And now let me introduce the second group of our Satellite Link. On the right of me there are the connoisseurs of W. Shakespeaer’s life and career. They gathered in Stratford to hold their traditional theoretical conference and willingly agreed to take part in our Satellite Link devoted to W. Shakespeare. Their names are Robert Adison, the Professor of History (the USA), Mary Brilliant, a student from Canada, Ann Wise, a guide from Shakespeare’s Museum (England), Flossie Conscience, a teacher of Literature from Australia, Amy O’Connor, a stage manager from Dublin (Northern Ireland), Sarah Mild, the Minister of Culture from Wales, and Kevin Eye, a correspondent from the Glasgo newspaper (Scotland).

Teacher – I am sure that many people watch us on T.V. Dear friends! You may ring us up and ask questions. Our telephone numbers are 478-70-24 or 491-17-33.

Well, let us start now. For more than 20 years the Professor of History Richard Adison delivers lectures at Radford High School in the state of Virginia, the USA. You are welcome, Professor…

Teacher – thank you, Professor, for the information we have got from you. I suppose the teachers from Novy Oskol are also grateful to you, Mr.Adison, for your present – a book about Radford High School. I will send it to them. Here it is.

Probably you have questions to the Professor…

A correspondent – “I have a question. Mr. Adison, I have read somewhere that at the theatre built by James Burbage in 1599 three actions might go on simultaneously. Is it true? “

Professor : “Yes, it’s quite true.”

Teacher – Of course our reverent Professor Adison knows everything. Probably young people know less but their love to Shakespeare is great. Our guest from Canada, Mary Brilliant is a student. She is very much interested in Shakespeare’s biography. Naturally Mary is very excited because she is for the first time at such a serious conference. So let’s encourage her with our applause…

Mary , thank you for your detailed story about Shakespeare’s biography. By the way have you already visited Shakespeare’s museum?

Mary : “Not yet but I will right after the conference”.

Teacher – And what about you, dear teachers? Has any of you visited Shakespeare’s museum in Stratford-upon-Avon?

“Teachers”: “It’s a pity but we haven’t”.

Teacher – Well, our next speaker, Ann Wise, is a guide from Shakespeare’s museum. Do you invite the teachers from Novy Oskol to your native Stratford, Ann?

Ann : “Of course I do”.

Teacher – Thanks a lot, Ann. Your story was so vivid. Dear teachers, do you feel as if you visited Shakespeare’s Birthplace? …I know that our correspondent, Kevin Eye wants to write a profound article about our conference. He seems to have one more question. Am I right?

Kevin Eye: “Yes, you are. I am addressing the teachers from Novy Oskol. Can any of them tell us what William’s surname means in Russian?”

“Teachers”: “Of course we can. It means «потрясать копьём».”

Kevin: “You are right”.

Teacher – And now we are passing over to the most interesting participant of our conference (I think so at least) because she is your colleague, dear teachers. Meet Flossie Conscience, a teacher of Literature from Australia.

Flossie: “Dear Russian colleagues, tell me, please, do you think there is enough material about W. Shakespeare according to the programme in your schools or not?”

One of the “teachers”: “Personally I think there is not enough material about W. Shakespeare”.

Flossie: “I see”.

Teacher – Thank you very much, Mrs. Conscience. Well, here is a telephone call. We are listening to you. Speak, please.

A telephone call: “Hello! My name is Zita Krishna. I am a pupil from India. Mrs. Conscience said that W. Shakespeare wrote 37 plays in 23 years. I want to learn how many sonnets the great poet composed. Thank you”.

Mrs. Conscience: “As far as I remember he composed 154 sonnets”.

Teacher – And now before giving the word to Amy O’Connor, a stage manager from Dublin, Northern Ireland, I’ll give you a chance to see a rehearsal of Hamlet’s part at Cambridge Student’s Theatre.

Hamlet’s Monologue (Act 3, Scene 1)

To be or not to be, that is the question:

Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,

And by opposing end them? To die – to sleep,

No more; and by a sleep to say we end

The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks

That flesh is heir to – ‘tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wish’d. To die – to sleep;

To sleep! Perchance to dream: - ay, there’s the rub;

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil

Must give us pause: there’s the respect

That makes calamity of so long life,

For who would bear the whips and scorns of time

The oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,

The pangs of despis’d love, the laws delay,

The insolence of office and the spurns

That patient merit of the unworthy takes,

When he himself might his quietus make

With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,

To grant the dread of something after death,

The undiscover’d country from whose bourn

No traveller returns puzzles the will

And makes us rather bear those ills we have.

Then fly to others that we know not of

Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;

And thus the native hue of resolution

Is sicklied o’ver with the pale cast of thought

And enterprises of great pith and moment

With this regard their currents awry turn away

And lose the name of action.

Teacher – You are welcome, Amy…thank you, Amy.

It is impossible to imagine T.V. without advertisement. Here it is.

(Othello and Desdemona)

As the English proverb says “the last but not the least”. Meet Sarah Mild, the Minister of Culture of Wales, with her report…Well, dear friends, the programme of our conference has come to an end. Thank you and good-bye.
