b) And why not a few more wacky games?
c) «All the World's a Stage» For all who learn and those who strive to teach,
They have their exits and their entrances. And all, in their time, play many parts.
Twins (Room: LUMIERE/sub-level 1st. floor)
Twins is the interweaving of four love stories involving two sets of characters: a group of four adolescents who arrive at a hostel near the beach to spend their summer holidays, and their four twins who arrive later. A series of coincidences and contradictions colours this play and places the young characters into very confusing situations.

The Performers is an international theatre group that produces educational plays in English. Their aim is to aid English teachers with a powerful tool, which places students in an authentic and entertaining context. Every year they produce three different plays, each one for a different level of English learners. In order to support the teacher‚s work in the classroom, they have designed an activity book to accompany each play. As in previous seasons, they count on your enthusiastic and warm support.
