As the year drew to a close, second-year students from the Department of English Language and Literature showcased their talent and creativity during the Department’s annual drama performance.
Held on 30 December 2024 in A3#620 from 7:30 to 10:00 PM, the event has become a cherished tradition, featuring celebrated plays across genres and eras.
This year's lineup included The Cenci and selected acts from Lady Windermere's Fan.The evening began with The Cenci, a tragedy written in 1820 by Percy Bysshe Shelley. Known for tackling controversial themes, the play is regarded as a significant work in Western literature.
Following that, the audience was treated to Acts II and III of Lady Windermere's Fan, Oscar Wilde’s witty and timeless 1891 comedy exploring morality and societal ambiguity.
The performances were a testament to the students' hard work and dedication. From meticulously prepared props, sound effects, and stage setups - including the effort of carrying a sofa onto the stage - to stunning costumes, makeup, and accessories, every detail contributed to an immersive theatrical experience.
More than just the final assessment for the Drama Class, this annual event fosters friendship among students and faculty, uniting the department in celebration of literature and performance. Open to all students, it also serves as a platform for creative expression and a memorable close to the academic year.
