Trinity Dramatists under the spotlight; Titus Andronicus by Shakespeare 

By Chaniru Senhas (Web Content Team) 

Enthusiastic Trinity dramatists emerged fourth place at the All-island Inter-school Shakespeare Drama Competition 2024, organized by the YMCA and the Rotary Club of Colombo North.  

Following the writing of the script, members of the Trinity College DRAMSOC, of both the middle and upper school practiced intensely with utmost dedication over a period of a month to showcase their talents through the performance of an excerpt of Titus Andronicus. The crew, in collaboration with their staff advisors, crafted outstanding costumes, and with the assistance of the Trinity College Media Unit, planned out striking lighting and sound patterns. Upon their performance at the semi finals on the 11th of September, their long-held determination paid off as the Trinity College DRAMSOC went through to the finals of the competition. 

After more countless practice sessions, and small amendments to the script and costumes, the dramatists were ready to perform at the finals on the 15th of September. There, the Trinity College DRAMSOC emerged fourth place among 21 schools, bringing glory to the college. 

The Trinity College community would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to all the actors, prop designers and crew members from the DRAMSOC, the Teacher-in-Charge, Mrs. Sumedha Weerawardane, Mr. Aslam Marikkar, Mr. Kanishka Samarasundara and the Trinity College Media Unit for their unwavering support and dedication throughout this journey
