Students of Scholastica staged Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore’s play “Dakghor” (The Post Office) on Monday and Tuesday at their senior section in capital’s Uttara.
The story of Dakghor revolves around a dying child, Amal, who yearns for freedom. He is confined indoor by his family physician. However, he makes a new world for himself through his imagination and curiosity. His only way of contact with the outside world is through his window.
The play is considered to be a poignant tribute to human spirit that gathers hope, even where there seems to be none.
Students of class V-IX delivered an exuberant performance at the STM Hall of the school with colourful set, costumes and props.
In his welcom speech, Principal of the school Brig Gen (Retd) Kaiser Ahmed, emphasised on the importance of extra-curricular activities for the sound development of students.
“For each performer this play has been a unique opportunity to enhance their learning experience and develop confidence, public-speaking and social skills,” he said.
Ekushey Padak winner and a renowned poet Asad Chowdhury marked the first day of the event as the chief geust while Professor Abdullah Abu Sayeed, founder of Bishwo Shahitto Kendro was present as the chief guest on the following day.
