Onatti German Theatre

We had the Onatti German theatre company in school on Thursday 5th March. They performed a play to our Year 8, 9 and 10 students currently studying German.

The play was about two friends, who find an old house. One girl starts seeing lots of creepy, mysterious things, but her friend doesn’t believe her. A policeman comes to the house and warns the girls that there is an escaped criminal on the loose, so they need to stay in the house to be safe. They are cold and hungry, so they  need some firewood to keep warm, so one girl goes off to cut wood for the fire.  The other girl is left behind and she gets more and more scared with each creepy thing – a chair mysteriously moves, she keeps seeing a creepy man appear and disappear. She starts to think she is going mad. They asked for a volunteer and Isabel went on stage to join in the play. She answers their questions, about her name, her age and her family members - all in German.

The students really enjoyed it...

The escaped criminal arrives at the house and one girl gets knocked out. Isabel and the other girl get tied up. They do manage to overpower the criminal, and Isabel calls the police, (in German!) and they come to take him away. The girls manage to make some food and left the house, now the danger had passed.

I really liked the play – I liked the catching the criminal scene.

I enjoyed how there were only 2 actors, but they played many parts, so the staging was really clever.
