Young Actors Showcase Storytelling Talent

The Maru-a-Pula theatre students presented eight stories of which they performed.  The stories were: The Hidden Princess, Tree Of Love, Pig Party, ‘Dimo’, The Return, Slender Boy, Be Careful What You Wish For as well as Aladdin. The stories were a range of folk tales and had elements of humour, heartbreak, fiction and dance. There were eight groups that performed for the eight pieces respectively. 

The students are the ones who formulated the plays for themselves.   The assessment was mainly carried out to help theatre students explore and build up on their ability of storytelling look realistic. The students were assessed based on the criteria they were able to put themselves in the character’s shoes and display what the character is all about.  The teachers also looked at the proper usage of props on stage and the cooperation of characters on stage.
