Jim lived with his parents until he was twenty-one years old, and then he got a job in the office of a big factory in another town, so he left home. He found a comfortable little flat which had two rooms, a small kitchen and a bathroom, and he lived there on his own.

At first he cleaned it himself, but he did not like it, so he determined to find someone

61

else to do it instead of him. He asked a lot of his fellow workers at the factory what they did about this, and at last one of the men said, «Oh, Mrs. Roper comes and cleans my flat regularly. She washes the dishes, irons my shirts and keeps the place neat and tidy and so on. I’ll introduce her to you, if you like. She’s a charming old lady. She does her best, but she hasn’t got much energy».

«Well, you’d better ask her to come and see me, please,» Jim answered. So the next evening Mrs. Roper came to see him, and she agreed to come to his flat every morning for an hour.

After she had been working for Jim for two weeks, he looked at the mirror in his bedroom and thought, «That mirror looks very dusty. Mrs. Roper’s forgotten to clean it. I can write on it with my finger.» He wrote a message in the dust: «I’m coughing whenever I breathe because everything in this room is very dusty.»

He came home at 7 o’clock that evening, and when he had eaten his supper, he went into his bedroom and looked at the mirror. «That silly woman still hasn’t cleaned it!» he said to himself. «All it needs is a cloth!»

But then he bent down and saw a bottle in front of the mirror. «I didn’t put that bottle there,» he thought. «Mrs. Roper must have left it.» He picked the bottle up and looked at it carefully.

«She’s written some words on it», he said to himself. He read the words. They were: «Cough-medicine».

A. It’s strange that the differences in Britain itself are greater than those between

Britain and other English-speaking countries. For a Londoner, it’s easier to understand an American than a Cockney. Cockney has a pronunciation, accent and vocabulary unlike any other dialect. Cockney speech is famous for its rhyming slang.

A word is replaced by a phrase or a person’s name which rhymes with it.(8)

B. Other languages absorb English words too, often giving them new forms and meanings. So many Japanese, French, Spanish and Germans mix English words with their mother tongues that the resulting hybrids are called Japlish, Franglais, Spanglish

62

and Denglish, In Japanese, for example, there is a verb Makudonaru, to eat at

McDonald’s.(5)

C.Have you ever wondered why the English language has different words for animals and meat? When William the Conqueror invaded England in 1066, French became the official language of the court. The English would look after the animals and cook the meat, still calling the animals pig, sheep and cow. The Normans, when they saw the cooked meat arrive at their table, would use French words – pork, mutton and beef.(6)

D.English is mixing with other languages around the world. It’s probably the biggest borrower. Words newly coined or in vogue in one language are very often added to English as well. There are words from 120 languages in its vocabulary, including Arabic, French, German, Greek, Italian, Russian, Spanish and Turkish. 70 per cent of the English vocabulary are loan words and only 30 per cent of the words are native.

(3)

E.Have you ever wondered how many people speak English? It’s around 400 million people. Geographically, English is the most wide-spread language on earth, and it’s second only to Chinese in the number of people who speak it. It’s spoken in the

British Isles, the USA, Australia, New Zealand and much of Canada and South Africa. English is also a second language of another 300 million people living in more than 60 countries.(1)

F.In Shakespeare’s time only a few million people spoke English. All of them lived in what is now Great Britain. Through the centuries, as a result of various historical events, English spread throughout the world. There were only 30,000 words in Old English. Modern English has the largest vocabulary in the world – more than 600,000 words.(2)

G.In the English language blackboards can be green or white, and blackberries are green and then red before they are ripe. There is no egg in eggplant, neither mush nor room in mushroom, neither pine nor apple in pineapple, no ham in hamburger. Why is it that a king rules a kingdom but a queen doesn’t rule a queendom? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth? And in what other language can your nose run? (4)

History of the theatrе

The history of theatre charts the early development of theatre over the past 2,500 years. While performative elements are present in every society, it is customary to acknowledge a distinction between theatre as an art form and entertainment and theatrical or performative elements in other activities. The history of theatre is primarily concerned with the origin and subsequent development of the theatre as an autonomous activity. Since classical Athens in the 6th century BCE, vibrant traditions of theatre have flourished in cultures across the world.

Theatre probably arose as a performance of ritual activities that did not require initiation on the part of the spectator. This similarity of early theatre to ritual is negatively attested by Aristotle, who in his Poetics defined theatre in contrast to the performances of sacred mysteries: theatre did not require the spectator to fast, drink the kykeon, or march in a procession; however theatre did resemble the sacred mysteries in the sense that it brought purification and healing to the spectator by means of a vision, the theama. The physical location of such performances was accordingly named theatron.

According to the historians Oscar Brockett and Franklin Hildy, rituals typically include elements that entertain or give pleasure, such as costumes and masks as well as skilled performers. As societies grew more complex, these spectacular elements began to be acted out under non-ritualistic conditions. As this occurred, the first steps towards theatre as an autonomous activity were being taken.

As the Western Roman Empire fell into decay through the 4th and 5th centuries, the seat of Roman power shifted to Constantinople and the Eastern Roman Empire, today called the Byzantine Empire. While surviving evidence about Byzantine theatre is slight, existing records show that mime, pantomime, scenes or recitations from tragedies and comedies, dances, and other entertainments were very popular. Constantinople had two theatres that were in use as late as the 5th century CEHowever, the true importance of the Byzantines in theatrical history is their preservation of many classical Greek texts and the compilation of a massive encyclopedia called the Suda, from which is derived a large amount of contemporary information on Greek theatre.

From the 5th century, Western Europe was plunged into a period of general disorder that lasted (with a brief period of stability under the Carolingian Empire in the 9th century) until the 10th century. As such, most organized theatrical activities disappeared in Western Europe. While it seems that small nomadic bands traveled around Europe throughout the period, performing wherever they could find an audience, there is no evidence that they produced anything but crude scenes.These

67

performers were denounced by the Church during the Dark Ages as they were viewed as dangerous and pagan.

Hrosvitha of Gandersheim, the first dramatist of the post-classical era. By the Early Middle Ages, churches in Europe began staging dramatized

versions of particular biblical events on specific days of the year. These dramatizations were included in order to vivify annual celebrations. Symbolic objects and actions – vestments, altars, censers, and pantomime performed by priests – recalled the events which Christian ritual celebrates. These were extensive sets of visual signs that could be used to communicate with a largely illiterate audience. These performances developed into liturgical dramas, the earliest of which is the Whom do you Seek (Quem-Quaeritis) Easter trope, dating from ca. 925. Liturgical drama was sung responsively by two groups and did not involve actors impersonating characters. However, sometime between 965 and 975, Æthelwold of Winchester composed the Regularis Concordia (Monastic Agreement) which contains a playlet complete with directions for performance.

Hrosvitha (c.935–973), a canoness in northern Germany, wrote six plays modeled on Terence's comedies but using religious subjects. These six plays –

Abraham, Callimachus, Dulcitius, Gallicanus, Paphnutius, and Sapientia – are the first known plays composed by a female dramatist and the first identifiable Western dramatic works of the post-classical era. They were first published in 1501 and had considerable influence on religious and didactic plays of the sixteenth century. Hrosvitha was followed by Hildegard of Bingen (d. 1179), a Benedictine abbess, who wrote a Latinmusical drama called OrdoVirtutum in 1155.

BELGOROD STATE ACADEMIC DRAMA THEATRE AFTER M. S. SCHEPKIN Belgorod state academic drama theatre was named after Mikhail Semenovich Shchepkin - founder of realism in Russian theatre.

The first mention of it, preserved in the archives date back to October 1936, it was there that he began his work as Belgorod kolkhoz-sovkhoz theatre, to "introduce into the thickness of the collective farm peasantry, the samples of a genuine socialist art". But the roots of the Belgorod theatrical art go much deeper, to the cultural layers, the pure springs nineteenth century - the name of Mikhail S. Schepkin there is always perceived not as a prefix to the title, but as the highest blessing of Fate. Schepkin’s artistic commandments, the traditions of Russian psychological theatre steadily should be Belgorod drama. Having passed during the war through the frontline areas, through Samarkand, Tashkent, Kzyl-Orda, theater, as noted in the decree of the office for the arts Council of people's Commissars of the RSFSR, "completely preserved as an artistic team, saved evacuated values, continuously worked without state subsidies". In April 1944 the theatre again opened the season in the warbuilding.

The turning point in the history of our region and the theatre became 1954 in this year was formed the Belgorod region, and the theatre received the status of the regional. Two years later it was awarded the name of our fellow countryman, the great Russian actor Mikhail S. Schepkin. In 1962, the theater moved to a new, specially constructed

68

in the city center building. In 1998, the theater was awarded the honorary title "academic".

Today in BSADT after MS. Shchepkina a talented creative team works. In the basis of the company there are experienced, professionally Mature actors, who worked in the theatre for many years. Clearly manifests itself and talented young people, among which are laureates of Russian and international theatre festivals. With a team together and cooperate broadly-owned by the Directors.

In recent years there has щепкинцев established friendly relations with collectives of the Central academic theatre of the Russian Army, the Moscow theatre after Yermolova.

A special item is inscribed in the history of the theatre of the all-Russian festival "Russian Actors for M. S.Schepkin" - the first actor festival in the country. Belgorod theatre became the initiator and the organizer of it.
