JAMMU, May 19: In continuation of the practice of enacting drama content of language text books prescribed by the CBSE and NCERT for classes 6 to 12 for the purpose of formative assessment, 40 students of Class 10th A of KC Public School staged WS Houghton’s hilarious play ‘The Dear Departed’, here yesterday.
This was the second play from the English Literature Reader for Class 10th.
The first morning performance on Ram Chand Mahajan Open Air Theatre on School Campus was presented before the students of other sections of Class 10th.
The farcical play exposes the hypocrisy of a British Lower Middle Class and focuses attention on the callous indifference of grown-ups towards their aged parents. The two daughters of senior citizen start bickering over property soon after their father’s death. The story takes a twist when the old man is found to be alive.
On realizing the greed of his daughters, the old man destroys his will and decides to marry a widow friend.
The actors in the play sent the audience into peals of laughter through their powerful performances.
Anushree and Shriya as two daughters and Akaarth as the old man did full justice to their roles.
Parents thoroughly enjoyed the play and lauded the efforts of English Teacher, Anita Koul for preparing the actors.
School Principal, Amarendra Mishra, once again emphasized the School’s resolve to give tangible shape to best practices, especially in the assessment of learning at the formative stages in conformity with the recommendations of the CBSE.
