These are just examples from the events in each country
ReplyDeleteRussia: The Russian revolution could be performed as a school type play. The Bolsheviks could be a group of students and the Tsar and Mensheviks could be another. The group playing the Bolsheviks could take charge and instead of murder, assault the person playing the Tsar. They could then take charge of the playground.
Bulgaria: The rise of Ottoman rule in the late 14th Century could be a good example. A group of people representing the Ottomans could steal something valuable from another group. They could have a battle like the Battle of Varna.
Holland: We could do a play based on the events in 1648 when Holland became independent from Spain.
Sweden: An event could be when it fought over the Aaland Islands with Finland. This could be 2 guys fighting over a girl with the one playing Finland eventually winning from a decision by someone playing the League of Nations.
Italy: The issues in Italian voting could be represented as a group of football clubs want to represent a certain city. They then form coalitions and vote against each other.
Malta: When woman got the right to vote after WW2 could be used.
England: The story of Guy Fawkes could be turned into a play of men trying to blow up a man's safe as it contains many valuable items but gets caught.
Turkey: The events in 1974 could be portrayed when the USA wanted a satellite to spy on Russia in Turkey. The Turks agreed to this is the US would help them invade Cyprus. This could be represented by some shops down a street and one shop wanting to use another one to spy on a shop.
USA: The Wall street crash could be represented by some guys who like betting all betting for the same horse. The give their money to this man. The horse wins but these guys have given all their money in and the better cannot give them their winnings. These guys suddenly become extremely poor.
