Tiny Tots discover
the Bard
Tribune Reporters
Chandigarh, October 2
The stage at MCM College, Sector 36, came alive with tiny tots of DAV School, Sector 8, putting up Shakespeare plays, “The Tempest”, “The Twelfth Night” and “The Merchant of Venice”, each of 20-minute duration. Notwithstanding their age, the actors did justice to the roles they played and the theme. It was an impressive show even as in “The Twelfth Night” and “The Merchant of Venice” UKG and Class I students lip-synched while students of classes V, VI and VII delivered their dialogues. However, Class II students, who staged “The Tempest”, delivered their own dialogues. Principal Sarita Manuja said, “An animated movie of Shakespeare plays inspired me for this experiment with tiny tots.”
Puru Medhir, a student of Class I who played the role of Duke Orsino in “The Twelfth Night”, said, “I liked doing this play.” But when asked if he knew who Shakespeare was, he said, “I just know I was Duke Orsino in the
play”. Oorja, who played the character of Olivia in “The Twelfth Night”, said, “I don’t know who Shakespeare was, but I liked my dress very much.” The plays were organised as part of the silver jubilee celebrations of the school. Hindi fortnight:
