THEATRE IN ENGLISH


For the second year in a row we attended a theatre perfomance in “La Encarnación” Auditorium in Villanueva de los Infantes. This year Moving ON Theatre Company performed a show called “Going Underground”. Once again the show was a great success and our students had fun and learned a lot.

Sypnosis (From www.movingonsl.com):
The London Underground is the oldest and one of the biggest in the world. The history and culture of Britain’s capital city are inextricably linked with its famous Underground. A train journey through its stations is a journey through time and the chance to savour all that London has to offer.
Apart from 273 Underground stations in use there are more than 40 “Ghost Stations”; closed to the public and to trains. In times of Economic Crisis and population growth there are plans to convert some of these stations into underground car parks.
Bob is an eccentric teacher with a passion for the history of London. Today she is taking her students to Down Street Station so they can see it in its original state before the works begin to demolish it. When they arrive at the station, they find Harry, whose great grandfather built the station, working there. The attempts to convince the authorities not to go ahead with the demolition will take us all on a comical, musical and educational journey through London and its history. Together, we will try and save the station and Harry’s home.

Here is a selection of some of the pictures taken during the show.
