Mr Loveday's little outing

 

Last year, my students from the VTC in Sign language carried out the staging of  Mr Loveday's little outing, a story about madness written by  Evelyn Waugh, a British satirical novelist who was born in London in 1903. 

An awesome project in which they used three languages: English, Spanish and Sign language.

Here you are all the activities we did :

1. Mr Loveday's little outing audio by Víctor Rosado.

2. Adapting the story to stage it.

3. Dress rehearsal and Sign Language.

• Act I
• Act II
• Act III 

4. Premiere at the School Hall.

5. The making of Mr Loveday's little outing.

An unforgettable experience...

My sincere thanks to Emilia Díaz García for her great contribution and help.
