Thousands of us long to master the English language; many of us also dream of shining on the stage as actors or actresses. How about combining the two — to play drama in English?
On the evening of May 25, a Drama Night show was given in Beijing Foreign Studies University as a part of the university’s Festival of English Language and Culture.
Six teams from different departments took part in the competition, each bringing the audience a magnificent play of about 25 minutes, including “The Twelfth Night” written by Shakespeare, “The Cop and The Anthem” by O’Henry and the well-known fairy tale “The Giant and the Garden.”
The first prize winner was “Alibaba and the Four Gangsters,” performed by the School of International Business. Adapted from the original story in “Thousand and One Nights,” the play was performed somewhat like a comical cartoon, arousing the laughter of the audience from beginning to end. “Forrest Gump” given by the School of English Language Communication, was an experimental piece. Bringing the Hollywood movie to the stage, it used pictures from the movie as a background and imitates its lines.
In this university with a traditional interest in playing drama in foreign languages, students felt it was both a challenge and an improvement for their language skills. “Every sentence in our play was written by ourselves,” said Duan Kunlun, director of “Alibaba and the Four Gangsters.” We referred to dictionaries, discussed among ourselves and inquired the teachers to produce correct and beautiful lines. This is a greatly beneficial experience. As players’ pronunciation and intonation took 30 per cent in judges’ scores, Shi Dite, who played Forrest Gump, said they watched the original movie dozens of times to imitate the pronunciation and intonation.
“We encourage students to play English dramas,” said Wang Weifang, a teacher in the English Department at BFSU. “By this, students not only display their ability, but also learn and practice English with great fun.”
