Talent galore at Shakespeare festival

Students from 12 institutes across the state took part in The Bard by the Mandovi, Goa’s only Shakespeare festival organised by the English Tygers Club and English department of Parvatibai Chowgule College in Margao. The event saw participation from over 200 high school and higher secondary students in various competitions and activities throughout the day, last Friday.
The inaugural of the event was a musical riot, with the students bringing back Shakespeare to life along with his tragic couples, who sang their way into the hearts of the audience. Participants performed music, poems and monologues and took part in debates and spelling bee contests as well. There were several other events like creating bedtime story books and performing acts from Shakespeare’s plays. The competition, The Mascot, saw one student from each team dress us as a supernatural character from Shakespeare’s plays and amaze the crowd!
