Yuvak Mandal, Bhalawog jointly organised a play ‘Flight of Innocence’
based on Oscar Wilde’s story ‘The Nightingale and the Rose’ at Gaiety
Theatre. The magic of the story was brought alive on stage by Youth Club
Bhalawog in the form of a play that touched hearts of all spectators
and forced them to contemplate on the real meaning of Love which can not
be seen in the modern times. Just like all of Wilde’s short stories
this play too embodied strong moral values told with strong acting of
the actors. It is the tale of a love struck poor boy, Robin who had to
provide his lover Florence a red rose in order to win her heart. A
nightingale overhearing his pain from a solitary Oak tree is filled with
sorrow and admiration all at once, and decides to help the poor young
man. She journeys through the night seeking the perfect red rose and
finally comes across a rose bush. But alas, it had no roses to offer
her. After a long search the nightingale found a rose but that was in
vain. Even the nightingale sacrificed herself for both of them, but with
that too they couldn’t make their love successful. The tragic end of
the play left the audience sad and spellbound. The script was executed
in heart touching manner and the message came across straight.
Spectators found its presentation good.
