Last week, we had the absolute pleasure of welcoming a professional French theatre company to NCW! All Modern Foreign Language (MFL) and Drama students were invited to enjoy a live performance in our Drama Studio.

The play, performed by Onatti Theatre Company titled RSVP (Répond-s’il vous plaît – meaning “respond, if you please”), was performed entirely in French by two native French actors. Students were amazed at how much they could understand and engage with throughout the show!

About the play:
Léa and Théo are the ultimate “YOLO” pair. When Léa suddenly decides they’re throwing a massive party in just 24 hours, chaos ensues—no venue, no food, no theme, nothing! With only hours to pull off the perfect French celebration, hilarity follows.

This interactive performance relied on audience participation, making it a fun and immersive experience for everyone involved. There were howls of laughter from students and staff throughout the play, creating a fantastic atmosphere in the Drama Studio.

Student feedback:
Aliyah said:
“Hi, I would just like to say that I really enjoyed the play today. Thank you for organising it. The actors were great.”

A huge thank you to the theatre company for bringing language learning to life in such an entertaining way. We hope all our students enjoyed this unique cultural experience!
