A Moment of Narcistic Self-Admiration

[wiseheart]

We went to the annual German theatre festival with the kids today. Both pieces I've written and co-worked on the direction won in their category (11-12 and 13-14 years old, respectively). One was a weird little thing called "The Cat's to Blame for Everything", the second one an incredibly silly Snow White parody, in which she terrorizes the Dwarves until they run away. Jury and audience laughed themselves silly. The kids spoke German very well, so I'm really proud.

Of course, that mean we got into the next level and have to sacrifice our Saturday on Feburary 6, but I'm still very happy.

Do you want me to send you the script from the Snow White parody? Mum laughed her head off reading it.

[artemis10002000]

Yes, please, I'd love to read it!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Will do. Have to delete a few Hungarian director's instructions first, so that you'll understand, but soon, I promise. ;)

Me, too, please? And I'll bet Jastaelf would love it, too, sprechen-ing Deutsch as well as she does!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Will do. ;)

Oh!! Congratulations on the win, and best wishes for the next level. :-)

Thank you. :)

Actually, I'm rather happy we made it to the next level. That's the only forum that can appreciate the language-related humour of the parody piece.

Those plays sound awesome, especially the cat one. Congratulations on winning.

Yep, the cat one is really funny - a Monthy Python-esque piece about how the loss of the Princess' cat leads to the fall of the realm and the extinction of the entire royal court. The kids enjoyed it immensely. Especially the scene in which the heart of the Princess broke with a loud crack and she parted with her martyred soul. *g*

And all this delivered in a mere 8 minutes!

Thumbs up, and I'll keep my fingers crossed for the next round!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Finch. If we have to sacrifice our Saturday, we ought at least make a good place, right? *g*

Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
On to the next level!
Yay!!!
Good students are a sign of a good teacher, Tanarno!

Congratulations, author! Best of luck to you and the cast for the next round!

Thanks. :)

I'm very proud of both pieces, especially of the Snow White parody. It doesn't really matter if we don't win, there aren't any more levels. But I so wished to get to this one, because there's not other forum where the full German version could be presented and - hopefully - appreciated.

We'll present the play on the annual cultural event of our school, too, but since most from the audience wouldn't understand it otherwise, the narrator texts will have to be done in Hungarian, which, frankly, kills ninety per cent of the language-related jokes, so it's not exactly the same.
