Presenter1 All of you surely know that our school № 1 is going to celebrate its   100 th  anniversary  this year. It is an event of great importance not only for our school but for the whole town too. We are delighted to tell you  that there is much our school can be proud of but first of all by its school  leavers.  A lot of former students  after finishing school  decided to deal their lives  with the English language  and have chosen it   as their future profession. Some of them  have made great progress and now we know them  and are proud them.

( they  name  the former school leavers)

Presenter 2 Speaking about our school- leavers  we can, t help saying   about our teachers – veterans, who devoted all their lives to school. Owing to them many of our former school - leavers  have chosen a profession  to their calling. They are …  . Before retiring  they  had worked  in our school more than 30 years.  …is awarded  a badge « For excellent achievement s in teaching». Many of their pupils have chosen  English as their future profession. Also we are delighted to tell you that some of our school leavers  have come here  today. All of our guests speak fluent English and now we would like to introduce them to you.

(Introducing  the guests)

 Presenter1 Now  we will ask our guests to take  their seats  at the table.

(addressing the guests)  - Will you please tell me  what you feel now  having come here after so many years? Are you excited?

(addressing everybody) -  What does school mean for each of us?

(addressing  Announcer 2)  -  What is school for you?

 Presenter2  School means everything for me. In the morning  mother wakes me up, saying: «It is high time  to go to school. In the evening again: « Do not stay  till late hours  you will oversleep for school in the morning or «It is time to do homework».

 Presenter1 On the one hand  I suppose  your mother  is right . You are a very great guy, but you are not in the least serious.  On the other hand all the mothers  are the same. Mine also likes  to tell me about her school years. She says they were  more hard-working, serious and reasonable  than me.

Presenter2  So does mine. Sometimes she is very hard to get along with me. She has a low opinion about us. She is certain  they were good all round. She likes to say they were very  aimful and knew beforehand and for sure what  job to deal their lives with. And you?

 Presenter1 Don , t  overload  me with such serious problems. I do not feel  like discussing it now. You may invite me on a date  and we will talk on it. I think it would be much more interesting  if our guests tell us something interesting  from their school

(addressing the guests)  - Were you sure, studying  in the 11 th grade, that  you would do English  after school.

Speak about yourself a bit.  What tempted  you to study English  as your future profession?

(The guests  share their  memories about  their school days)

Presenter2   Time flies. School, lessons, games,  clubs,  homework… .  The bell, rings  you go to the classroom.  The bell rings  you have lunch. The bell rings  you go home.  But one day  you will be at school for the last time.  Only a few years ago  we were  small children  and now you are going to leave school  in a few months. Do you feel sorry about it?

Presenter1   To tell you the truth,   I even can , t imagine that there will be the last school bell for me and I shall never come back again.

Presenter2 Wow!  But I do hope you will never forget  your classmates and teachers. Am I not right? Let , s  ask our guests.  

Presenter1 (addressing the guests)     - Have you met your classmates  since you left school? What do you know about them now ? What do they do ?

Presenter2 (addressing the guests)   - Do you keep in touch with your classmates now? Do you keep to the tradition  of gathering together?  

 Presenter1  Well, how do you find my English? It is fluent, isn, t it? Perhaps,  in 10-15 years my school will be proud of me too. Fancy yourself I am a diplomat or I am an interpreter in the Embassy  or a famous playwright.

Presenter2  You know I can predict your future. I have seen you so often  on this stage  that I have no doubt  that in future  you will make  a career  as an actor on the big stage and morever I am sure  you will be playing in English.

Presenter1  And ,perhaps, the next question  will be what part   I would like to act?  I know it is a tradition  to ask all the actors  such a question. I am sure  when speaking  about theatre  all or almost all  the actors  are eager  to star as   «Hamlet»   at least once in their lives/ But you are wrong if you think so I have always dreamt  to act as Romeo. And I strongly hope  my dream will come true. to life  at last. Now I am leaving you. I am going to get ready  for the performance. See you a bit later.

Presenter2 I will open  a small secret to you. We have prepared a surprise for our guests and audience.  The point is that theatre has always been very important  in our school life . A lot of interesting productions were made   in English on this stage. Students enjoy taking part  in amateur  performances.  Among them  there are  a lot of talented ones. Who knows  may be in future   some of them  will really become  famous actors  and our school will be proud of them. Talking about theatre  I can,  t help mentioning  the 440 th anniversary  of Shakespeare, the famous English  playwright. And this year  all the world is going to celebrate  the 400 th anniversary  of the first production of his  tragedy. We have prepared a performance for you. We hope  you will enjoy it. Thank you.

                                                                       Part II

Presenter 1  One can hardly come across any other name  in the world literature  that could be compared  with the name  of William Shakespeare.

Presenter 2   He is often called by people  «Our  National Bard»,  «The Immortal  Poet of Nature  and the Great Unknown»

 Presenter 1   The greatest   and the best interpreter  of the most  of human nature  the poet  of the widest sympathies  of the most profound  knowledge  of mankind came into the world  of the pleasant town  of Stratford – on Avon  in April 1564.  His birthday  is uncertain. He was baptized  on April 26, 1564,  but there is nothing to prove on what day he was born . Not much is known  of   Shakespeare , s  father John Shakespeare. He was a man of some importance  in  Stratford.

Presenter 2  The Poet,  s mother was Mary Arden.  It was her destiny  to become  the mother  of William   Shakespeare. Refully  She had eight children: four sons and four daughters. William was the third child  being the eldest son  William was no doubt looked carefully after.  The year of his birth was one of terror  in Stratford for the plague spread not only in London  but over other parts  of England. But fortunately  for mankind  the plague  spared the house of the Shakespeare , s.

Presenter 1   We may take it for granted  that William went to a good grammar school wit . We do not know how many years  he attended  this school.  But we do know  that he had a quick and ready  wit   a keen perception.  His poems and plays  show that he was greatly influenced  by the ancient  Greek and Roman poets  historians  and orators. He knew several languages: latin  Greek  French  Italian. Soon his father  s  fortunes declined  and in 11578 William was taken  from school.

Presenter 2    In 1582  he married Anna Hathaway  who was eight years older than William. (He was 18 at that time). Whether Anne was beautiful  in reality we do not know. But she was  Shakespeare , s  wife and so she is of interest for all ages. William had three children.

 Presenter 1   Life in Stratford was hard and when Shakespeare was 21  he went to London . In London he joined  a group of actors. The Famous Globe was the centre of London, s  theatrical life. Shakespeare played on its stage  and wrote plays for this theatre.  

(the sonnet)

Presenter 2   Shakespeare wrote most of his plays for the Globe  Theatre. Now I will tell you what the theatre  of the 16 th century  was like.

In the middle there was  a kind of house.  There the actors dressed  and kept the things which were used  in the performance/ In front of it there was a platform. This platform together with the balcony over it  was the stage  on which  the actors played. They came out of the house  to the stage  through two large doors. In front of the stage  there was a large yard. Round the yard there were three balconies  one over the other. Both these balconies and the yard were for the people who came to see the performance. The yard and the greater  part  of the stage  were open to the sky. The actors were often very good. They could play,  sing, and dance.  Women  s parts  were played  by boys or young men. An actor often played two or three parts in one performance. Music was very important.

The performance  began at 3 o  clock. From its beginning till it was over  people could see a flag over the theatre. The people of London loved their theatre very much.  Everybody went to the theatre in London – both young and old  rich and poor. Those who could not pay much for their tickets  stood in the yard. If they were tired they could see on the ground. Rich men and their wives  sat in their balconies  and aristocrats  were allowed to sit on the stage. People had no newspapers  no radio or television in those days.  That is why the theatre played a great part in their lives.  The performance gave them great enjoyment  but they came to the theatre not only for pleasure   they came to hear the news  to learn something  of the history  of England or of some other country.  They were taught the great science of life.

Presenter 1  At the same time  Shakespeare  was an actoк ,  a poet  and a writer of drama. He wrote 154 sonnets  2 poens  and 37 plays where he showed  his creative genius.  A sonnet is a fourteen line poem. Shakespeare was especially  good  at them.

  (the sonnet)

Presenter 2    The first period (1590-1600)  of his creative work consists  of comedies and histories. In this period  Shakespeare  wrote such histories as  King  Henry the IV  King Henry V   King Richard II King Richard III  and others. Here  the author  showed historical events  and dramatic characters.

Presenter 1   Romeo and Juliet   is one of  Shakespeare , s  best plays. It is a tragedy. It was apparently written in 1591 or in 1592 when Shakespeare was 27-28 years. It is a tragedy,  but it was written  in the first period  of his creative work.  The plot of it is one of the novels of the Italian writer Bandello. In 1559 the novel was translated into French. And in 1562 the English poet Arthur  Brook  took this plot  for his poem  Romeo and Juliet. The play is full of love,  youth  and humanism. «Romeo and Julie»  was often staged  at the theatre  and it was  a great success.  Now we suggest seeing the  scene  «Under the balcony».

Presenter 2  All the Shakespeare , s famous tragedies   appeared between 1600 and 1608. This was the second period  of his literary work.  In the plays of this period the dramatist reaches his full maturity.  He presents great human problems. This period began with the tragedy  Hamlet  which was a great success. It is a family  drama . It is a conflict of generations.  Now we suggest that you should see a scene from Hamlet.

  ( a scene from Hamlet).

Presenter 1   The following plays belong to the second  period  King Lear   Othello  Macbeth and others. Shakespeare , s plays  of the third period  (1609-1611) are called   Romantic dramas:  The Tempest  The Winter , s tale Henry VIII.

Presenter 2  In 1612  Shakespeare left London. He decided to live in Stratford. Since that time Shakespeare  did not act any more and since 1613 he no longer wrote plays. Nobody knows what Shakespeare did during the last years of his life.  He died on April 23  1616 and he was buried in the church in Stratford.  

                                         On Shakespeare  ( to the music)

What needs my Shakespeare  for his honour , d Bones,

The labour of an age in piled Stones,

Or that his hallow , d  reliques should be hidden

Under a Stary pointing Pyramid?

Dear son of memory   great heir of Fame

What needs, t you such weak witness of your name

You in our wonder and astonishment

Has built yourself a live –long Monument.

For while   to the shame  of slow – endeavouring  art

Your easy numbers flow and that each heart.

Has from the leaves of your unvalued  book

Those Delphic  lines with deep impression took

Then you  our fancy of itself bereaving

Does make us marble  with too much conceiving

And so sepulchered in such pomp does lie

That king for such a tomb would wish to die

               The party,  dedicated to the 100 th  anniversary  of school  № 1
