Chung Ching School in Brunei Remembers Shakespeare

By James Sim

Bandar Seri Begawan - Students and teachers of Chung Ching Middle School last Saturday celebrated the birthday of one of world's greatest writers, William Shakespeare, at the school premises. As a tribute to the king of dramas and poems, Chung Ching Little Theatre played out a murder scene from Shakespeare's "Othello" to a spellbound audience, with help from their teachers Shanthi Thomas, Kavitha Vijayakumar and Jane Thomas. The celebration also saw a presentation of two soliloquies from Shakespeare's masterpiece "Hamlet" - a Form I student re-enacting mad Ophelia and a Form 3 student playing out Hamlet's dilemma. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
