Poseidon's Pirate

          The 21st-22nd November 2014 saw the Ektra Secondary Drama Club perform its' annual drama show. The response and support from parents and students was so great the tickets were sold out for both evening performances. Also held as an example for other Sarasas Schools, members of the administration and staff from many other Affiliated schools came to see our students perform - what an honor it was!
           The evening started with a Khon show by secondary students showcasing their traditional Thai dancing abilities. It was a beautiful sight to behold, especially the pyramid acrobatic maneuvers and balancing which received great audience applause. The Khon dancers lead the audience to the main show: Poseidon's Pirate. It was a story of the pirate Alyus, a son of Poseidon (God of the Sea), charged with finding a magic key at Card Island. He needed it to open the Castle where a magic egg was hidden. On their travels Alyus, his best friend, Eugene and all the pirates had adventurous fights wherever they went. They had help from the Gypsy Calypso to find the mystery castle at Shelikof Bay.
           It was a combination of the stage scenery, sound effects, fabulous costumes, student's acting, magic performance, live music from the school orchestra, Khon dance and student's English ability to make the evening a most memorable and splendid occasion.
           Poseidon's Pirate reached the aims, objectives and expectations of the Drama Club and was a super success. The school would like to thank all parents of the students involved, including the actors/actresses, the musicians, and backstage members for your support, understanding and time in helping the make this Drama Show a success. Thank you to parents, families and students for making it a 'sellout' . It is important to support the Drama Club students to continue to work hard and uphold the tradition of our annual drama performance.
