ISD stage German drama ‘Caucasian Chalk Circle’

Recently, secondary level students of International School Dhaka (ISD) performed a modern German drama, which follows the story of a baby who becomes disconnected from their family during the war, and is brought up by a peasant.

The "Caucasian Chalk Circle"—a play by German modernist playwright, Bertolt Brecht—was staged by students of grades VI-XII, at the ISD campus on Sunday and Monday evening.

"When students perform in front of a large audience, they become more confident! So, it's a great experience for the children. We hope students will learn a great deal from these events and evolve into multi-talented human beings," said Eugene Barnaart, the Secondary Drama Teacher at ISD.

In this year's event, more than 30 students participated in the main cast of the drama. "It's amazing to work with the ISD children and to get support from their parents and the school administration," added Eugene Barnaart.

The school's primary production, called "Christmas Carol, A School Remix", will run between December 13 and 14, from 10:30 am at the ISD auditorium.
