Chandigarh, October 14

Students of Class V of Yadavindra Public School, Junior School, SAS Nagar, showcased their passion for acting, music and dance here this evening with ‘An Heir for the King’. The play was staged at Tagore Theatre. 

The story selected for the play, albeit simple, dealt with an often contemplated question, ‘Who is worthy to be a King’s heir?’ This play highlighted that values of compassion, empathy and humility are the need of the hour irrespective of talents, gender or socio-economic status.

The role of the King was confidently played by Manraj Singh Bhullar. Tanvi Sharma’s portrayal of Bonnie - a compassionate human being and the chosen heir, struck a chord with the audience. The messengers Hither, Thither and Yon played by Dilshhanveer S. Bachhal, Mehtab Singh Virk and Ishaanveer Chahal, respectively, had the audience in splits with their antics and dialogue delivery. The audience was also quite amused by the mannerism of highwaymen Angad Singh Dhami, Parth Malik, Ekambir Singh Brar and Dhruv Jaggi. It was a delight to watch Taijas Singh and Aashna Parmar as jester narrators who kept the audience captivated.

The lively dances choreographed by dance teacher Renu were a riot of colours and brought to life the elegance of ballroom dances and the exuberance of country dance. Under the guidance of Kwi Suk Kang and Seiye, the choir presented a treat for music lovers with a melody of songs. The final song ‘Welcome Now the King’ awarded a rousing welcome to the King and provided a fitting end to the play. The set and props crafted in the school itself authenticated scenes depicted in the play.

Play director Vijay Kumar Machal beautifully strung together the actors, singers and dancers, putting forward a remarkable show which was appreciated by audience.
