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?
Botir: Yes, the hall is beautifully decorated. I hope the stage sets will be beautiful.
Lena: So do I. They’re doing a new play today. I haven’t seen it yet.
