My favourite stage drama

My favourite stage drama is Sinhabahu. It is one of the Best and popular stage drama in Sri Lanka. Prof. Ediriweera Sarathchandra was the author of this drama and it was first staged in 1961. Sinhabahu stage drama is based on a historical story in the book of Maha Wanshaya and father - son conflict, love and duty are the main concepts of this stage drama. 

The style of this drama is called 'NADAGAM'  and the actors and actresses are say their lines as singing a song. It is a main specification of the 'NADAGAM'. Maddalaya, Harmonium and thaalampata are the main instruments they play for this stage drama and  the choreography of this drama was directed by master Ravibandu Widyapathi. The songs of this stage drama was very beautiful and interesting and my favourite song is 'DASA DESA INDRA' song. It is the song when the lion comes to the stage. You can listen to that song from the link below.

Sinhabahu, The Lion, Siha Seevali and Suppa devi are the main 4 characters in this stage drama. 


 





Sinhabahu stage drama is like a life lesson for us. Beacause It is teaches us the bond between parents and children, love, duties etc. I suggest you As students you should  watch this stage drama. Then you'll learn the beauty of this stage drama and the prograssion of Sri Lankan stage dramas. According to me Sinhabahu is the golden era in the history of Sri Lankan stage dramas.
