Festival of Arts

Pryamus and Thisby directed by Jehan Aloysius is a blend of Shakespeare’s verse, exciting dance and music. The drama revolves around a group of artisans, headed by Quince as they rehearse a play titled – Pyramus and Thisby in the forest. A battle between the armies of the Fairy King and Queen over the mystical Indian boy and the machinations of the mischievous Puck lead to chaos in the human world. Meanwhile, ‘Bottom’, the weaver, becomes the unwitting victim of a magical transformation, which leads him into the arms of the mesmerised Fairy Queen. In all this mayhem, the artisans wonder if they will ever be able to stage their tragicomedy – Pyramus and Thisby.
