The play "La princesse au petit pois" ("The Princess and the Pea") tells the story of a quest to find the true princess of a prince living in a blissful kingdom. Away from his family, from the King and Queen, the prince, from a foolish, innocent young man, had opened his eyes to the outside world. It really was not as beautiful as he thought. But thanks to the trip, the prince finally understood what the real princess he was looking for needed to have.

The play was carefully prepared and arranged thanks to the help of two French teachers, Quentin Delorme and Etienne Rousseaux. The French class students have been practicing hard since October 2017 to give the audience a fun performance, full of laughter. The goal of the French drama theater club is to help students gain confidence in their speaking abilities; they practice teamwork skills and use the strength of each individual to create the best product. In addition, the club's activities are also aimed at strengthening the close relationship between the French classes of the school.
