Theatre arts and drama - a true reflection of human society
Volume 2 - Issue 10
27th March was celebrated as World Theatre Day - one of the most elegant and respected art forms since the Greeks. It is celebrated to raise the importance of theatre arts, how they played an important role in the field of entertainment, and the changes that theatre brings in life.
The beauty of theatre is that it isn’t a single artform - but combines various forms of fine arts that uses live performers, actors or actresses to present before a live audience about the real experience in a specific place or maybe on a stage.
I have watched a lot of plays with my parents, and it’s actually fun, and I do realize how difficult it must be to pull off the act. Do reply to this newsletter with a memorable play you’ve watched.

We will be screening a TED Talk -Â Why city flags may be the worst designed thing you've never noticed by Roman Mars
Every Thursday at 9 PM, we will be screening some very interesting movies/short films/videos/talks, across the world, especially book adapted ones! This is followed by an intellectual discussion on 3 points from the video.
About the TED Talk:
Roman Mars is obsessed with flags -- and after you watch this talk, you might be, too. These ubiquitous symbols of civic pride are often designed, well, pretty terribly. But they don't have to be. In this surprising and hilarious talk about vexillology -- the study of flags --, Mars reveals the five basic principles of flag design and shows why he believes they can be applied to just about anything.
