**"THEATRE REVISITED" PROJECT** ** A. We've all been to the theatre. Now, let's see how you react to it and work from its impulse! **** 1. What is theatre? Do you agree with Oscar Wilde's quote? ** I really appreciate Oscar Wilde and I totally agree with him. Before films' appearance, theatre was truly «the greatest of all art forms». Almeida, 11ºA Oscar Wilde is an excellent writer and he's right about theater. Maybe I don't belong in this world but I rather to watch a play than a film. A play (a great play) makes us be integrated, makes us feel what actors feel, makes us live it with more intensity. Theater will always be the greatest art form, because it's the only art way that makes us feel alive! FranciscaVeiga, 11thB I agree with Francisca, watching a play make us live the story a little bit more emotionally than watching it as a film. Mariana11thA I also agree with you on some parts. I think that theatre is a risky art, much more than cinema... However, personally I enjoy more watching movies than go to the theatre. Of course, it has to be a GREAT film to overcome its play. Francisca, I know what you mean by a play makes us be integrated, and i agree with you but I personally thik that a film can make us feel that too. Mariana Marques

About Oscar Wilde's thought I can't say I fully agree because I see literature and dance as the major art forms. In spite of this fact, I do believe that watching a play can make us see ourselves in the mirror, laugh at our stupidity, bend over after strongest values and forces, recognize our lack of wisdom, humility,sense of humor and jump since we realise the greatness of mankind for being able to perform and spread talent and intelligence like that. It's definitely priceless. Vitória Melo 11D

hshsh 11D **[|Oscar Wilde] ** || **STUDENTS'OPINIONS :))** It was excelent, don't doubt it. Eunice Moñoz did a great preformance and the script was amazing.I loved it. One of the best plays I've ever seen. Almeida, 11ºA "O COMBOIO DA MADRUGADA" - AWESOME! Eunice Muñoz shared with the audience the feelings she experimented during the play. She's a Lady! The way she behaved, the posture, the great shape. That huge smile!While she was playing I was open-mouth. Everything she said entered my head and made me think. Even little things! She made an incredible, incredible play! Even today, I'm astonished with what I saw. I can't find the right words to describe that wonderful play. Eunice Muñoz is THE portuguese reference! Eunice Muñoz is a strong lady thats why she's that age and is still being powerful ! FranciscaVeiga, 11thB ﻿I couldn't change the font type Francisca had chosen. sorry. About the play, I really loved it. Eunice Moñoz did a great work interpreting Flora Goforth, she is actually a really powerful woman who can catch everyone's attention while she is in the stage (she can do it outside the stage, also). ﻿Mariana11thA Regarding The Oscar Wilde quote, nowadays, unfortunetely, the Theatre has become the lost art. To the actors it must be much more fullfiling and satisfactoring receiving the audience´s reaction in the moment. I love it when we stand up and aplaud, I think it creates a "bond" beetween the public and those who act. In what concerns the play, it was a privilege to see such an amazing actress, and to go to the theatre a rare oportunity here in Viseu. Great cast & original story! An activitie to repeat. :) Rita Rebelo 11D Well, I have to addmit that the last time I went to see a play was long ago. However I was really surprised with the story and the performance of the actors. They had the power of impersonate the characters like they were them and that contributed a lot for the sucess of the play. Eunice Muñoz performance was amazing, she is a old lady but was the soul and strenght of a young one. I really love it! These kind of activities are an excelent way of captivating us and introducing new Units in a creative way. (the guy who played Christopher(?) was a really sexy man, I had to say that xD ) Rita Pinto 11B <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">Thank you, Rita Pinto! I know that Eunice Muñoz did a wonderful job playing Goforth but the boy was pretty good, too! He had to.. After all, he belonged to the Morangos Com Açúcar cast, so he had to be a great actor and HOT. Now, about the play, i really enjoyed it. The plot was well written, I just thought that half way through the play, we already knew what the end was going to be. In what concerns to standing up and clapping youir hands a million of times, I thought that we could do it but for a bit less longer. However, the cast truly deserved our efforts! Mariana Marques 11D <span style="background-color: #ffffff; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"> ﻿Christopher Flanders looks like Cristopher McCandless, don't you think so? And Mariana, the fact we had clapped our hands a million of times is called 'respect' and 'admiration' for their work!

 * <span class="body" style="font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.
 * 2. How did you like the theatre performance "O COMBOIO DA MADRUGADA"? **

Agree with Mariana, Flanders was like McCandless. Not only by the fact of travelling but physically. Rita Pinto11B

Rita Pinto, you are right. They where, in fact, similar in terms of physical appearance. But you had no need to translate the whole page to portuguese. Looooooooooooooooooool!!!! Almeida, 11 º A

I really loved the play, it was wonderfully played and the actores were really great and they the message that they wanted to send it was really easy to understand because they felt their characters. But for me the greatest art that exists is writing a book, because isn't everyone that is able to ﻿make someone fall in love by a story just with words. When you have an imageit's easier for you to "fall in love" and imagine the story that is behind yet with words, you have to make the reader dreaming and imagine just by using some letters.

It's not everyday we get to watch a play with such a good actress like Eunice Muñoz. I am not very used to go to the theatre but I really enjoyed the experience. I guess as some of you said we can feel more close with the characters, with their emotions. It was really impressive the way Eunice Muñoz played the role of Flora Goforth, a woman with a ver complex personality. I really liked the play, hope we can repeat the experience! Filipa Duarte 11º A﻿ =====

Ienjoyed the play “O Comboio da Madrugada”. The story was excelent and the set was good. But what really impressed me was Eunice Muñoz performance. She really is an excellent actress. Maybe the best Portuguese actress alive, like our teacher says. The way she moves in the stage, the way she delivers hers lines… It’s all perfect. Gonçalo Henriques 11ºB ===== I was delighted to have the opportunity of seing a play recognised internationally, with a really impressive and well know cast with Eunice Muñoz as highlight. This type of iniciative is really important to enhance not only our culture but also to get in touch with the evolution of theater in foreign countries. Pedro 11ºD

The tyrannical, selfish, demanding and controversial personality of Flora Goforth had really captivated me. “O Comboio da Madrugada” rose up as one of the most magnificent plays I’ve ever seen thanks not only to the incredible performance of Eunice Muñoz (I liked the cast as a whole, it was solid, but this lady puts the rest of them in a box) but also to the story itself. Besides being quite metaphorical and intellectually interesting due to its characters and their psychological space, I could really feel part of the play, as well. Vitória Melo 11D

<span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;"> I went to the theatre today to see a play performed by students of Emídio Navarro. It was called Flatland, and yes, it was an addaptation of th e story written by Edwin Abbott, the one wich gave birth to the film we saw in Math class sometime ago. It was very fun to see them represent a 2 dimensional space in the stage, as well as a 1 dimensional and no dimensional (a point). <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">I think we should all go to the theatre more often, as it is almost all the times a very good experience. <span style="background-color: #ffff00; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size: 120%;">João Neto, 11ºA

<span style="color: #000000; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">﻿I was pleased for seeing such a wonderful play, one the bests that I've watched if not the best one. All the actors and actresses were amazing with a highlight for Eunice Muñoz. It's impressive what she can do on stage. This was a great and successfull school trip and I would suggest to repeat if we were not in the end of the year. Once again it's not everyday that we can see a play like this one and it is defenitly to be remenber in the future. <span style="background-color: #008000; color: #000000; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">﻿Filipe Borges 11º D

**I really love the play, first of all is important to know how portuguese actors some of them with few experience can represent so good a play that was or is in Broadway. I loved to see so young actors and so "old" interacting with each other in a lovely way and that is a great thing for our nacional theatre!!! Overall I think that the theme was also gorgeous because we can take a lesson out of it, each one can that a diferent lesson indeed!!!!** **Renato** What I most lked in the Teatre was the great performance of Eunice Moñoz and Pedro Caeiro. They realy succeeeded in give life to Mrs. Goforth and the "Angel of Death". I enjoyed certain specific lines of both scripts.Phrases that are foolish given due attention had a large element of truth.
