STREETPLAY AT SRI DHANALAKSHMIPURAM, VAZHUKKUPARAI- 13.03.2019
Ten students of I and II year B.A.English Literature performed a street play on
environmental issues as an outreach programme at NSS adopted village, Sri
Dhanalakshmipuram near Vazhukkuparai on 13. 03 2019.
They were accompanied by two faculty members of the English Department,
Dr.Shobha Ramaswamy (Assistant Professor and Head) and Dr.K.Kaviyarasu (Assistant
Professor).
The venue was near the Sri Dhanalakshmipuram arch, in a ground close to the
overhead water tank. The students started by distributing leaflets on the dangers of the use of
plastics. They began their performance around 5.45 pm. Water scarcity, pollution, problems
faced by agriculturists, the dangers of plastic use, over-population, wasteful use of resources,
the pitfalls of modern living-these were some of the issues dealt with in the street play. The
script was in Tamil and penned by Mr.G.Vigneswaran (171EL009) of II B.A. English
Literature.
There was enthusiastic response from the local people. Some of them stopped their
vehicles to watch the performance. Children clapped and repeated the lines which were
extremely catchy. In fact, since the crowd increased once people started to come back from
work, they wanted an encore.
The students performed the play once again to the delight of the audience.
Photographs were taken and videos were recorded by the faculty members.

power of positive motivation. Characters like Cinderella, The Witch, The Bufoon, The
