The drama team of Thiruvangoor Higher Secondary School is on triple celebration mode.
It is not just that their play Oscar Purushu bagged an A-grade, equivalent to a first prize, in the high school category Malayalam drama competition at the 62nd State School Arts Festival that concluded in Kollam on Monday, but R.S. Dala, who played the title role, bagged the best actress title while her teammate Keerthana bagged special mention from the judges. To top it all, the play and the team are to be part of a film soon.
Oscar Purushu is a comeback play for noted theatre director Sivadasan Poyilkavu, who had given up training school teams in 2019 in pursuit of higher goals. But Dala, his daughter, left him with little choice this year as she wanted to be part of the drama team.
