Boy: Exciting theatrical performance!
Girl: Kirill, do you love theatre?
Boy: I love it, Mary. It is a large, extravagant, magnificent art form.
Girl: Theatre is like a magical mirror that enlarges and changes familiar images and allows us to see them in new ways. Have you ever heard about Anthony Horowitz?
Boy: I’ve heard something about him. Is his name connected with our theme today?
Girl: Yes, it is. He is a contemporary British writer, screenwriter, producer and journalist.
Boy: Today will represent you performances by Anthony Horowitz’s books.
Girl: The first performance is based on the book called The House of Silk. It is about the detective Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson.
Boy: Is it the sequel of Conan Doyle’s book?
Girl: Let’s listen to the author’s explanation.
Boy: In fact the most important thing, for him, is not to break faith with the original (не нарушать веру в оригинал).
Girl: As Sherlock Holmes would say,“There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact”.
Boy: And another quote “You have a grand gift for silence, Watson. It makes you quite invaluable as a companion.”
Girl: So, we're getting started!
Boy: Mary, I’d go through anything for you.
Girl: Good, Kirill! Then you can start by going through the door.
Boy: If this is your idea of joke, I don’t find it at all funny!
Girl: OK, Kirill, what did you mean when you said “I’d go through anything for you.”
Boy: Just the next performance is about a teenage spy named Alex Rider. He’d go through anything for his country. Alex Rider is a series of spy novels by Anthony Horowitz which aimed primarily at teens and young adults.
Girl: The series comprises eleven novels, as well as five graphic novels, three short stories, a supplementary book and a film. The first novel Stormbreaker was released in the United Kingdom in 2000 and was adapted into a film in 2006. The novels are published by Walker Books in the United States.
Boy: The film was released in October 2019. Now it is being shown in all movie houses in the UK. I suggest you to watch the trailer and the interview with Anthony Horowitz and Otto Farrant. Otto Farrant is starring in the movie.

Boy: Oh, so this is going to be awesome! Blood runs cold. And what do you think about it, Mary?
Girl: Butterfly in my stomach. I’m looking forward to watching the scene from the book presented by our pupils.
Boy: Our pupils did a great job, didn’t they?
Girl: Yes, they did. All the actors performed in the play were wonderful.
Boy: I had a good time. It encouraged me to read Horowitz’s books immediately. What is he working on now?
Girl: The Sentence is Death. And here is the quote to his book,‘When people keep secrets, those secrets have a nasty way of festering. They can turn into poison. They can kill.’
Boy: Does this wonderful man ever sleep? He must be writing nonstop!
Girl: He just loves his occupation. His books inspire us to become a better person and to do something useful things for the community.
Boy: I would add to find the inner balance and happiness.
Girl: Dear guests, we hope you had a nice time. We wish you to find the inner balance and happiness. Read Anthony Horowitz’s books and be happy.
