We introduced the play during the 3rd season of the project in cooperation with the Old Town library. Our aim was to bring English closer to young people in a different way and show them that it is possible to do it in a meaningful and fun way.

It was an interactive dramatic reading performance of the play. Students were drawn into the plot, and even took on roles alongside us and at the end of the performance an interesting discussion awaited them.
