DVD script:
Dialogue 1 
Botir: Hi Lena. I didn’t know you love theatre.
Lena: Hi, Botir. Yes, I like this theatre. I usually don’t like matinees with 
lots of children who are very noisy. I prefer evening performances when 
I go with my parents. My mother likes Shakespeare’s plays very much. 
Have you been to this theatre before?
Botir: No, it’s my first visit here. My friend booked two tickets for this 
performance. Our seats are in the box close to the stage. Where’s your 
seat?
Lena: Lucky you. Mine is in the stalls. But the eighth row is my favourite. 
Do you like this theatre?
