A SATURDAY WITH EDGAR ALLAN POE

 

First, in the morning I´ll give Edgar my language homework and he´ll do it.  Later we´ll play tennis on the tennis court in the park, and as he doesn´t know how to play, he´ll hit the balls with his head.

In the afternoon we´ll have lunch in an Italian resataurant and later we will go to the shopping centre to buy modern clothes for him.  He will buy pink trousers and a pink t-shirt with purple shoes.

After that I´ll phone my friends and we´ll go to a disco.  He´ll get dizzy because of the lights and we´ll have to go to the hospital.  When he is better we´ll take a train to Madrid and he will pay for a suite in the most expensive hotel for my friends and me and another for him.  We´ll go to sleep at four o´clock in the morning, after a big party in the hotel.

An Evening With Poe

 

Then A.Marshall, after changing his fancy dress, told us the story "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Poe too. It was about a young man who killed his boss because of his terrible eye, and he heard the heart of the dead man, so he confessed to police.

 

Each story was for about half an hour. The actor scared us and made us laugh too. It was incredible how his personality changed when he changed his fancy dresses.

 

First he perfomed a coward, old man, and then a confident, crazy boy. The spectacle was very funny too, because A. Marshall talked with the people that were there during the spectacle, it was interacticve. For example, he made a boy do the same sounds he did before, or he also told some jokes.

 

After the spectacle, the actor invited us to ask him some questions. Finally he left the room when everybody was clapping, and at 6:30 it was finished.
