Vienna English Theatre - A Perfect Match












On April 29th, the second, third and fourth forms attended the Vienna English Theatre's production of "A Perfect Match" (by Sean Aita) in our school. Despite using almost no props the four actors offered a lively performance of the play, which the pupils had read and discussed over the previous weeks.


The play gave both the students and the teachers 60 minutes of good laughter.
Comparing the scenes with the sequences of a football match, the actors played the ups and downs of a "maybe" patchwork family.

How would you react, if you found out about your dad dating your history teacher?
After a lot of troubles and drama four lonely people became a promising family.

Plot:
We meet Angela, a young girl whose parents have just split up and who has moved to London with her dad. Her secret hope is that her parents might get back together again. She finds new friends and likes school but with one exception – she hates her History teacher, Ms. Anderson. One day her dad meets Ms. Anderson at a football match and they start dating. Angela is horrified and plays tricks on her dad to stop him from seeing her teacher. Her tricks don´t work and her dad takes her on a camping holiday to Norfolk. There she meets Chris, Ms. Anderson´s son, who also comes from a broken family. Like Angela, Kris is not too happy about his mother´s romance with Angela´s Dad, and so they decide to team up and break up the relationship. Both think they know what´s best for their parents and don´t want to´share´ them with new parents. In the end Angela and Chris find out that their parents also have a right to a personal life of their own. They tell them the truth and finally they move to a big house where they live as a happy and normal patchwork family.
