Await ‘Happily N’Ever After’ by the Colombo International School
View(s):The drama club of Colombo International School under the guidance of director, Vinodh Senadeera will bring to life the legendary tales of the Grimm Brothers along with a dab of Gore Vidal and a sprinkle of Rae Shirley putting together their production titled ‘Happily N’Ever After.’
The evening opens with the abstract play ‘A Visit to a Small Planet’ by Gore Vidal. The play centres around a morally and mentally unstable alien (Kreton played by Kenula De Alwis) visiting Earth with the cruel intentions of taking it over and wreaking havoc. But will he succeed in doing so ?This excitement is followed by the series of famed tales by the Grimm Brothers which include ‘Red Cap’, ‘Golden Goose’ , ‘Ash Puttel’, ‘Hansel and Gretel’ and ‘Brother Scamp’.
The cast of ‘Red Cap’ will lead the audience into the woods to see grandma whilst they are glued to the train of ladies stuck to the golden goose. Share Ash Puttel’s pleasure and pain and gasp at the sight of the beautiful slipper. Sympathise to Hansel and Gretel as they are left alone in the woods, wondering what would befall them and nod in agreement at the moral values displayed by the cast of ‘Brother Scamp’. Finally to conclude the evening, glide in the ladies of Shakespeare in the comedy ‘The Merry Regiment of Women’ by Rae Shirley, which will leave the audience in fits of laughter with its subtle humour.
Await ‘Happily N’Ever After’ at the Colombo International School auditorium at 7:30pm on May 8, 2015. Tickets and box plan are now available at the reception of the school.
