The story.
Horoskop is a hilarious play.
Everyone likes a sneaky peek at their Horoscope but Mia takes it very seriously.
When she reads that 'love' is on the horizon she takes the message to literally mean that any boy she meets must be a potential admirer. She can't understand it when things don't go as her stars predicted!
Why so many schools use Onatti as part of language teaching.
This play is performed by two native German actors. The spoken German will be delivered slowly and clearly. We want your students to be able to follow the story, sustain their enjoyment and above all the boost their confidence.
The plot will highlight many similarities to your student’s life, but in a humorous and exaggerated manner, making them relatable and increasing their enjoyment by empathising with the characters and storylines.
Confidence in pitching of the language.
It is important when creating a play in German to pay careful attention to the written script and delivery of the dialogue. Our plays will develop your student’s skills in “applying the language they already know” to enable them to follow the story.
We know that new language should always be presented surrounded by familiar vocabulary and phrases to indirectly expose them to unfamiliar words.
Sheets for the play
Every play is accompanied with worksheets. They contain a synopsis of the play, some extracts from the written script and some useful words and phrases
