Blog#3 "Me and My Girl"

Kazu Hatakeyama

Hi, everyone!
It is the second time for me to make my blog page.
It's fun♪♪

In this time, I would like to introduce our club performance at the School Festival!

I am belong to the English club in our university.
(Please check our home page which I mainly make!!)
We enjoy discussion, debate, speech and playing drama in English with about 60 members. 

Since this summer, we have been practicing the English Drama "Me and My Girl".
Perhaps some of you have already known the story,
but I will tell you the brief summary of the story just as we did in the presentation in class.

The story is set in London in the 1930's at Hareford where gorgeous, rich and good family. 
At Hareford, Earl of Hareford died without leaving heirs.   
However the late Viscount married in his youth.  They soon parted and she died and their son was born.  His name is Bill.  Bill is so naughty and lives in Lambeth with his sweetheart, Sally. 
Sally and Bill are so poor but they really love each other!

Then, Bill's aunt, Maria found Bill and wanted him to live together as  the Lord Hareford.
Bill was educated by Maria in order to be a nobleman.  However, the more Bill changes his appearance and behavior as a gentleman, the more big status difference between Bill and Sally is created. 
Therefore, Bill has a big question: which is more important for him 'love in a poor life' or 'high position in a colorless life'. 

As you easily guess, Bill chose Sally at the end. 
However, by the time he made the decision, Bill had some troubles in the Hareford.


This is the main plot of the story. 
The script we use in the play is made by my friend and we memorize all the script and play it in our own way. 
60 members are all divided into 5 groups and have a competition that chooses the best two groups for the school festival. 
Actually, it was held last Sunday and............




Our group won the competition and we were chosen to be a group for the festival!!
I am soooo happy☆
Since I am senior, I am the director and I won't play at the day. 
However, I am constructing our play including back music and lighting. 
I am very looking forward to showing our performance at the festival. 

Therefore, if you have time, please come to see our play!

  1. Hello,Kazu. This is Asumi.

    Congratulations for winning the competition!
    I can imagine how happy you are! I'm sure you've practiced a lot to win it!
    I'm surprised to know that there are so many members in your club. Are there any first grade philosophy major student?
    I hope your play will be a lot of success!!

  3. What a sweet story. I am sure there are some comical bits in it too. I am sure that it was a real crowd pleaser. It is really fun to be a part of a theatrical production. I had the same experience during my high school days. We put on the musical "Pippin" and I was the stage manager and also played in the live band. My friends acted in it and other friends played in the band, so despite being very very hard work, it was a lot of fun, and our performances were completely sold out.
    A great memory, as I am sure yours will be.
