On Monday, 4th March, 2024, a group of students from 8th and 9th year watched a play in the National Theatre in Nova Gorica (SNC Nova Gorica) performed by an English drama group ADGE from Munich. The title of the play was Pygmalion and it was written by the English dramatist George Bernard Shaw.

Here are the opinions of the students:

They liked the play, because the actors were good and convincing. It was interesting to hear spoken English. The story was funny, with lots of comical elements, but at the same time it pointed out the problem of women in that period (the beginning of 20th century). The costumes were beautiful and they matched each role.

Students complimented the performance itself, especially the passages between scenes and the exchange of the roles (one actor performed in several roles).

They expressed the wish to see more plays, because they are educational, they bring forward special emotions and everybody can learn something new from them.
