The school provides many
opportunities to the staff and students to bring forth their creative
talents. The annual English play presented by the English faculty is
one such event that every one looks forward to. This year’s play ‘King
Arthur and the Quest for the Holy Grail’ was staged in the auditorium
on 24th and 25th of December.
Bal Bharati Public School, Pitampura staged
its Annual English Play on 19th and
20th December 2009 in the school auditorium. The play ‘Doctor
Faustus’ put up by the English Faculty was an adaptation of
Christopher Marlowe’s play of the same name. The plot revolved around the protagonist
‘Doctor Faustus’, a talented German scholar at Wittenburg, who
ventures forth to study magic. Thrilled at the immense power he can
achieve through this dark art, he dares to master its fundamentals by
selling his soul to the devil. Faustus, who has forsaken God, is
damned forever. The underlying message that ‘maddening pursuit for
absolute power only brings damnation’ was brought out very intensely
through the beautiful enactment of various scenes. The director of the
play Ms. Sonia Chhabra was congratulated for selecting a play that had
such contemporary relevance. Utkarsh Jain as ‘Doctor Faustus’ stole
the hearts of the audience. Divik Girdhar also received appreciation
for portraying the role of the devil ‘Mephistophilis’. Even the comic
interludes proved to be thoroughly entertaining. The entire cast and
the faculty were applauded for their hard work and
enthusiasm.
