SHAKESPEARE’S DAY

Synergites celebrated William Shakespeare’s Day with fun and frolic in true Sri Prakash Style. On 23rd April 2019, Shakespeare is considered one of the greatest literature, poet and playwright of all times. 

His philosophy seems to have been cynical and pessimistic.  He seems to have been an agnostic, although it would have been unwise for him to express agnostic or atheistic at a time when the church was very powerful and vindictive.  The primary section presented a colourful and musical skit ‘Ant and the cricket’ that delivered a powerful message to the students. The spell bound audience were transcended to the Shakespearean era while witnessing the tiny tots perform a fancy dress-strutting the ramp in complete style.  Shakespeare has 154 sonnets.  A few of our synergites rendered popular sonnets in front of an awe struck audience.  These sonnets covered a variety of emotions eg love, loss, deception, time, youth etc and were certainly not simple poems.

A vivid portrait depicting the central, theme of the famous play ‘The Merchant of Venice’ was commissioned.  This was prepared by the students under the aegis of Art sir Mr.Srinu.

‘To be or not to be’ ‘Hail Caesar’ ‘All that gliters is not gold’ ‘O’Romeo, Romeo!’… Yes!  These popular dramatic phrases are indeed from Shakespearean literature.  Over the course of his life, Shakespeare wrote nearly 40 plays (tragedies, comedies and histories) 154 sonnets, and 2 narrative poems.

But today was the day to present ‘The merchant of venice’ which truly proved that Shakespeare’s literature is synonymous with theatre – the two are clearly inseparable.

‘All the world’s a stage….’ As these words were delivered Nixon was at his oratory best.  These famous lines from ‘As you like it’ were welcomed with a thunderous applause.

The Director sir’s speech was followed by a speech by our chief guests Dr.Sudhakar C Agarkar and Professor S.R.Santhanam.
