Let’s do the Concluding task (to show on a screen)

F) At Shakespeare’s Globe there were no decoration on the stage.
D) A flag always waved above the playhouse during the performance
C) William Shakespeare wrote 37 plays which are popular
nowadays
So, Shakespeare wrote lots of famous plays. People loved his plays, and there was always a big audience at the Globe Theatre
And now, let’s move to our the so - called “School Globe Theatre”
Students speak about the play they saw last week “The Fire of Immortality”
(Storytelling)
So, we could say “To be “The Fire of Immortality or not to be”?
That is the question….
And we say – to be….
Because at all times people fought for justice, Peace, independence and Freedom as we do today..
Possible answers:
In my opinion, he could certainly write about Oleksa Hirnyk. Shakespeare was always interested in the themes of justice, freedom and human suffering, which are still relevant in our time.
Oleks Hirnyk, a Ukrainian dissident and activist who fights for human rights and freedom of speech, is a well- known figure in modern Ukrainian society.
Thus, Shakespeare, as a literary genius, would have the opportunity to create an impressive work about Oleks Hirnyk, which would inspire and raise the viewer's consciousness to important social issues
“The Fire of Immortality” in his time? – in written form
