Rob Stone and the school play

26 | P a g e
Last week, Rob Stone, the famous British actor and star of many Hollywood films,
had a party for his 53rd birthday. Rob invited a lot of other actors to his beautiful
home for his party. After dinner, he stood up and spoke to everyone there. He told
them about something that happened when he was at school 40 years ago. As a
schoolboy, Rob loved the theatre and he was very happy when he had his first part in a
play. It was a very sad play by Shakespeare, the sixteenth-century English writer.
Rob played the part of an old man who had to die on stage. He practised and practised
to become good at the part. He had to lie on a bed, say a few sad words of goodbye to
his sons and then shout in pain and die.
Like all the other parents, Mr and Mrs Stone came to watch their son in the play. Rob
told his guests, 'I shall never forget that evening. It was terrible. As I died, I could hear
my father laughing! I still remember now how bad I felt and I have not asked my
father to one of my plays since.'
