  • The Show Must Go On
    THE SHOW MUST GO ON by Sean Aita Inspired by Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days www.schooltours.at @ All passengers on this epic journey This year, a small Theatre-in-Education company (consisting of four actors) is inviting you to join them on a trip around the world … sounds good, eh? However, there are a few (not so small) matters to sort out beforehand, such as: which play are they going to do? Who is going to play which part? And – who is going to pay for it all? As it happens, all four of them have to work second jobs and rehearse in the evenings, because it’s quite difficult to make a living without a fixed-term contract at a theatre. Money is only going to come in if and when they do a show. So they decide to put Jules Verne’s novel Around the World in 80 Days on stage. Perhaps you’ve read the story, or seen a film version? Mr Fogg, a rich English Gentleman, bets two friends that he is able to go around the world in 80 days – which is less than three months! The story is set in the 19th century when travelling to faraway countries wasn’t as easy as it is nowadays. No cars, no planes, no fast trains, and some railway lines (in different countries) hadn’t even been built … Next problem: the casting. In the story, there hardly are any female characters. And guess what – after some discussion, the two main roles in the story, Mr Phileas Fogg and his French servant Passepartout, are played by the two girls! And lastly, just as the play seems to come together, the promised grant from the Arts Council is cancelled.

Saving money was equated directly with service to the nation and was pitched as a duty of sacrifice to support the war effort. One of the central characteristics of this campaign was that it enabled everyone down to newspaper boys to participate in a society-wide thrift movement. As such, the World War II war bond effort put thrift in the service of democracy, both in the sense that it directly supported the war being fought for democratic ideals and in the sense that it allowed the participation of all sectors in the American war effort. This national ethic of collective thrift for the greater good largely died in the prosperity that followed World War II, and it has not been restored even during subsequent wars in the latter part of the 20th century. Keywords: Second World War, war bonds, thrift, democracy, war effort Page 1 of 56 PRINTED FROM OXFORD SCHOLARSHIP ONLINE (www.oxfordscholarship.com).

Trade was disrupted between the countries in the Central Empire (Germany, Austria- Hungary, Bulgaria, the Ottoman Empire), the Triple Entente (France, the United Kingdom, and Russia), and their allies (the United States, Italy, and Romania, among others). Textile industries were monopolized by various needs of the army and sales to the civil sphere declined all over Europe. Supply issues were further aggravated by shortages of raw materials such as wool and cotton and other necessary goods such as canvas.1 M o s t s i g n i fi cantly, a majority of workers and consumers were sent to the front.

By: Ellie Hersh Introduction Determining what is the appropriate age to teach school children about the Holocaust, or to be taught about other difficult historical events, is a decision that has been debated among many. Some academics believe it is appropriate to start teaching the topic to students as young as Kindergarten, while others believe that it is more appropriate to wait until students are in high school. I believe that there are lessons that can be taken from the Holocaust—acceptance, understanding and appreciating differences, and helping others—which are more than appropriate to start teaching in a Kindergarten classroom. However, I do not believe that teaching the details of the Holocaust is appropriate.
