Mi Personalidad
The story.
This is a play about identity. Fernando is a teenage boy looking for his own identity. Unable to secure a girlfriend, or even many friends, he embarks on a journey of discovery.
Helped by a mysterious new acquaintance he tries out new images and personalities. Sadly all attempts to reinvent himself end up just frustrating him - but greatly amusing the audience! A suberly funny play about teenage identity.
Why so many schools use Onatti as part of language teaching?
This play is performed by two native Spanish actors. The spoken Spanish 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 Spanish 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
