(キキが配達を頼まれるシーン）

英語劇の練習を通して意見のすれ違いや辛いこともありますが、一つの作品をみんなで作り上げた時の達成感はここでしか味わえないと思います。私たちが授業で取り扱っている英語とは少し違った感覚を味わえ、とても新鮮な経験になります。

E.S.S. Performance of Kiki's Delivery Service
On Sunday, December 8th, the English Speaking Society (E.S.S.) of Yasuda Women's University performed its 57th annual English play. After the success of last year's adaptation of The Devil Wears Prada, the students decided to try a story created in Japan, but one that also features a strong female lead role.
This year, the E.S.S. members performed Kiki's Delivery Service, a story that almost everyone in Japan is familiar with. Kiki, the heroine, is very similar to Andy (of The Devil Wears Prada) in that she, too, leaves a small town for a big city, finds herself in all kinds of trouble, and then loses her self-confidence and sense of purpose. Both young ladies have to learn to create their own style and follow their own hearts and dreams, and both grow up and mature, taking important steps toward adulthood.
This year's performance was another big success, thanks to the hard work of the E.S.S. members and all the teachers and staff members who supported them. We had a large audience, including some children, and we hope to see even more people at next year's performance! Here are some photos from the event. Great job, everyone!
