THE STAGE OF STRATFORD

In a humble salutation to the ‘bard of Avon’ William Shakespeare who was born in Stratford upon Avon, we rename our drama club as the stage of Stratford. As the greatest dramatist to whom ‘the mighty mother did unveil her awful face and the dauntless child stretched for its little arms and smiled’, left Stratford for London, unleashed the tempest that swept across the entire globe and kept it in perfect enchantment,. We the bardolatorals are committed to ‘strut and fret our hours on the stage’ of Stratford in a humble but earnest attempt to contain and reflect those characters from witty Falstaff to the demy Atlas Mark Antony, from the currish Jew Shylock to the dangerous Julius Caesar from the spirit haunted  villain  Macbeth to the paralysed victim of opposing attributes – curtsey, courage and intelligence - Hamlet and from Cleopatra of infinite variety to Portia of Sacrificial love and to change the minds of the audience from the demy paradise England to the remote enchanted island.

We prefer Shakespeare who had returned to Stratford after attaining serenity of mind to he who possesses a mind that is terribly strained whose off springs are his greatest tragedies; and secured in the affections of his admirers until death

For dramatisation we consider not only Shakespearean plays but also those plays which can hold a perfect mirror on human instincts and reflects every emotion known to man.
