According to the producer, Marlon Jesudason, the drama will speak
about the after effects of the three wise men and so on. In other words,
the drama will depict the after effects of the journey undertaken by the
three wise men to see the birth of Jesus Christ and how the three wise
men would feel the whirlwind on the close heel of this sacred birth.
‘This will be an unique Christmas production since it mainly touches
the technical aspect of the drama which will strengthen the visual
spectacle of the drama.’
The stage play will have a cast of 100 and 70 singers. Drama Club
President Adam Kenny said, “It was a great challenge to me since this is
a huge production and requires much attention and handling.
The other challenge was maintaining the stage balance and of the
characters.
Now we are prepared to give a good performance.”
The drama will open a new avenue and provide an inspiration to the
dramas related to Christmas which are to come in the future. |
