Участники вечера исполняют песню "Streets of London" под гитарный аккомпанемент.
The Streets of London
Have you seen the old men in closed-down market,
Kicking up the papers with his worn-out shoes?
In his eyes you see no pride and held loosely by his side
Yesterday's paper telling yesterday's news.
CHORUS
So how can you tell me you're lonely,
And say for you the sun don't shine?
Oh, let me take you by the hand and lead you
through the streets of London,
I'll show you something to make you change your mind.And have you seen the old girl who walks the streets of London
Dirt in her hair and her clothes in rags?
She is no time for talking, she just keeps right on walking
Carrying her home in two carrier bags.And in the all-night cafe at a quarter past eleven
Same old man sitting there on his own.
Looking at the world over the rim of his tea cup,
Each tea lasts an hour and he wanders home alone.And have you seen the old man outside the seamen's missions,
Memories fading with the medal ribbons that he wears?
And in our winter city the rain cries a little pity
For one more forgotten hero and a world that doesn't care.
1st Compere: Dear guests, members of the teaching staff, students and lovers of the English language, we highly appreciate you came to join us. Today we offer excursion which will acquaint you with the epoch of Shakespeare.
1st speaker:
All the World's a Stage
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms;
And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress1 eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honour, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lin'd,
With eyes severe, and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slipper'd pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well sav'd, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness, and mere oblivion,-
Sans teeth, sans taste, sans everything.

2d Compere:
The last half of the XVI and the beginning of the XVll centuries are known as the golden age of English literature. It was the time of the English Renaissance, and sometimes it is even called "the age of Shakespeare".
William Shakespeare, the greatest and most famous of English writers, and probably the greatest playwright who has ever lived, was born in Stratford-on-Avon. In spite of his fame we know very little about his life. The things that we know about Shakespeare's life begin with the date when he was baptised in the church of Stratford, on April 26, 1564, when he was only a few days old. So he
is believed to have been born on April 23.
Though little is known about William's childhood, there is every reason to believe that he was educated at the local Grammar School. When little over eighteen he married Anne Halthaway of Shottery.
2d speaker:
Song
0 mistress mine, where are you roaming?
0 stay and hear, your true love's coming,
That can sing both high and low:
Trip no further, pretty sweeting;
Journeys end in lovers' meeting,
Every wise man's son doth know.
What is love? 'tis not hereafter;
Present mirth hath present laughter;
What's to come is still unsure:
In delay there lies no plenty;
Then come kiss me, sweet and twenty,
Youth's a stuff will not endure.
1st Compere:
William lived in Stratford until he was about twenty-one, when he went to London. We do not know why he left Stratford-on-Avon.
There is a story that Shakespeare's first job in London was holding rich men's horses at the theatre door. But nobody can be sure that this story is true.
Later, Shakespeare became an actor and a member of one of the chief acting companies. Soon he began to write plays for this company and in a few years became a well-known author.
One writer of that time said that Shakespeare liked a quiet life, he did not like drunken parties, and was not fond of being invited to the court. "If he was invited to the court, he was in pain."
3d speaker:
Sonnet XCI
Some glory in their birth, some in their skill,
Some in their wealth, some in their bodies' force,
Some in their garments, though new-fangled ill,
Some in their hawks and hounds, some in their horse;
And every humour hath his adjunct pleasure,
Where in it finds a joy above the rest:
But these particulars are not my measure;
All these I better in one general best.
Thy love is better than high birth to me,
Richer than wealth, prouder than garments' cost,
Of more delight than hawks or horses be;
And, having thee, of all men's pride I boast.
Wretched in this alone, that thou mayst take
All this away and me most wretched make.
2d Compere:
Shakespeare's experience as an actor (although he usually acted only small parts, like the Ghost in Hamlet) helped him greatly in the writing of his plays. His knowledge of the stage and his poetical genius made his plays the most wonderful ones ever written.
Shakespeare wrote 37 plays. Among them there are deep tragedies, such as Hamlet, King Lear, Othello, Macbeth, light comedies, such as The Merry Wives of Windsor, All's Well That Ends Well, Twelfth Night, Much Ado About Nothing, historical dramas, such as Henry IK Richard III.
Most of Shakespeare's plays were not published in his lifetime. So some of them may have been lost in the fire when the "Globe" burned down in 1613.
Shakespeare spent the last years of his life at Stratford, where he died in 1616. He was buried in the church of Stratford. A monument was erected to the memory of the great playwright in the Poet's Corner in Westminster Abbey.
4th speaker:
When priests are more in word than matter;
When brewers mar their malt with water;
When nobles are their tailors' tutors;
No heretics burn'd but wenches' suitors;
When every case in law is right;
No squire in debt, nor no poor knight;
When slanders do not live in tongues;
Nor cutpurses come not to throngs;
When userers tell their gold i' the field;
And bawds and whores do churches build;
Then shall the realm of Albion
Come to great confusion:
Then comes the time, who lives to see 't,
That going shall be us'd with feet. (From King Lear)
1st Compere:
The historic town of Stratford-upon-Avon is known as William Shakespeare's birthplace. It's also the home of the Royal Shakespeare Company, the world's finest classical theatre company. The first theatre in honour of Shakespeare at Stratford was founded by Charles Tower. In 1926, the theatre was destroyed by fire. Shakespeare lovers all over the world, particularly Americans, rebuilt the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre (now the Royal Shakespeare Theatre). The building was reopened in 1932. The company presents Shakespeare's works in a lively way so that today's audiences can enjoy his plays as much as audiences did in the 16th century. Its Shakespearian style of production attracts an international audience and from time to time, the company tours overseas.
5th speaker:
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
(From Macbeth)

TWO DIFFERENT WORLDS
JULIET
Who is the god above me
Who summoned that you should love me?
Why has he blessed us in this way?
I know I'll thank him every day
My heart was wise to choose you
But they'll want me to refuse you
Now that we know where we belong
They're bound to say it's wrong
Just take a look around us
A sea of fools surround us
But they will see before we're done
Two different worlds become one
ROMEO
What star or god above me
Decided that you should love me?
Forbidden love comes at a price
But it is worth the sacrifice
They don't know what they're saying
This love of ours is staying
I'm not prepared to say goodbye
Until the day I die
BOTH
Two different worlds they live in
Why don't they all just give in?
The winds of war keep blowing
The seeds of hate keep growing
All I want to do
Is live and die with you
My heart was wise to choose you
There's no way I can refuse you
They will all see before we're done
Two different worlds come one
My heart was wise to choose you
I'd rather die than ever lose you
We'll make them see before we're done
Two different worlds come one

KINGS OF THE WORLD
ROMEO
Kings of the world running our lives
Powerful husbands with ambitious wives
Ever-so-smug 'cause they make all the rules
They are not kings, just a bunch of old foolsBENVOLIO
Kings of the world planning ahead
They haven't noticed they're already dead
They eat the fat and they toss us the bones
Transparent kings sitting on paper thronesCHORUS
We know how to live we squeeze the juice from every moment
We make love day after day night after night we sing we dance
It makes no sense in being careful not when time files like an arrow
We take every risk that's out there we're prepared to take that chance
We are the...MERCUTIO
Kings of the world, free as the wind
Looking for sins that we haven't yet sinned
They think they're smart, but they're really quite dumb
You miss the tune when you're banging your drumROMEO & BENVOLIO
Kings of the world, they're just a joke
They are not kings, they're just misguided folk
Boring as hell and as dull as can be
BENVOLIO
One thing's for sure: they would love to be me!
Repeat CHORUS
ROMEO
We'll take the chance!Repeat CHORUS (x2)
Time is like an arrow
We take every risk that's out there
We'll take the chance
Kings of the World!
