Dramatic Club stages a comedy

The newly inaugurated Dramatic Club performed a Kannada play titled “Paschathapa” (Repentance) written by Master Hirannayya here on Wednesday. It was a 45-minute comedy directed by Ravi Kiran from II PEM. The main objective of the play was to evoke interest among students for the theatre and motivate them into joining the Club.

The play was performed effectively with minimum stage settings. The actors had to even use their natural voice.

The play started with an introduction that every body has to realise their sins. The title of the play “Paschatapa” indicates the repentance of sins committed. The whole story centred around two thieves and their life. The raw facts of life were wonderfully depicted through the eyes of these two characters.

Mr Anthony Lawrence, the co-ordinator of Dramatic Club said, “We want to bring out the tremendous talent of students to the fore, and this type of the training will help the students to face any type of the competition outside.”

Director of the play, Ravi Kiran said, “Our aim is to participate in the plays conducted by Bharatiya Yatra Kendra in Ravindra Kala Kshetra which will start from October.” He further said, “These kind of plays were conducted 12 years back, but now we want to revive them through The Dramatic Club. Last year we got the an award for best stage performance at a competition organised by People’s Script Organization, Christ College. We have started with a Kannada play, but we are planning to conduct plays in other languages like English, Malayalm, Tamil and Telugu.”

“The play was very realistic and it related to the current situation. The actors did a commendable jog. I liked their costumes and I enjoyed the whole play,”said, Sneha from III PCM.

Many students gathered to watch the play.
