The Blueprint Masquerades

Another term has just started and we are immediately diving into work now. This year, the drama group need your help again. After last year’s performance had to be cancelled (refusal of rights), we have decided to write our own play. It is based on Shakespeare’s comedy Much Ado about Nothing.

Everybody is warmly welcome to join. We need actors, musicians and people who just want to have fun. Just drop in on

Wednesday, September 26th and/or on

Wednesday, October 3rd at the Kafistübli (ES).

Of course, this invitation is not only directed to students but also to staff members who would like to play some drama. We are looking forward to meeting you.

Goold’s Gold

by: Annina Melliger

Q: What do The Merchant of Venice, Pinocchio and Toy Story 1 all have in common?

A: Performing puppets and decapacitated dolls: the horrors of children’s nightmares.

Rupert Goold’s production of one of Shakespeare’s most complex and difficult plays gives an uncanny sense of bleak darkness to the play, nothing anyone could expect when the spectacle begins. It is certainly not how most people would interpret the Spanish word for meadows. In any case, as soon as the concept was first announced to be Las Vegas, I was quite intrigued, giddy to see how the director would manage such a stunt.

SIGN UP NOW!!!

The English Drama Group is still looking for new members. Please sign up at the bulletin board or at the door of the Kafistübli and send a mail to “edg.provisorisch@hotmail.ch” if you are interested. A first meeting will take place at October 20th. You will receive more information via email. We are looking forward to meeting you all!

The Blueprint Masquerades – the English Drama Group of Zurich

Yes, the English Seminar does have a drama group – although you haven’t heard of it, yet. Indeed, it has been existing for about 20 years. You see, it is time to change something, to get to know the group, to make it popular. That is why we need you! We need actors, singers, musicians, dancers, technique nerds, fund raisers and people who just want to be part of a group and enjoy themselves. Our next project is the musical “Grease”, which we would like to perform in cooperation with the Rudolf Steiner Schule Zurich. If you are interested in having a swell time, please roll in the list which we will hang up on Monday (10/03/2011) on the bulletin board at the English Seminar. Further information will follow soon!
