Synopsis
Language no bar since the performance is about quintessential Indian students in an English medium school. Age no bar, as four performers from the age of 25 to 50 – all play students of class 8th. Space no bar, as a classroom is created with a lone bench and blocks. The boys’ toilet and the girls’ toilet are on stage where mirror reflections are kissed upon and curiosities of growing up are innocently explored. A whole new world for newer students Ramdulari and Shyamprasad. But the school authorities at Ultra Modern School are very strict and structured as they take pride in being the only English medium school in the small town of Haldwani. How do two misfits with a vernacular background find their voices in a hyper competitive, ruthless classroom obsessed with ‘sounding English’? Can the politics of language make a compelling comedy? Can the inherent germ of imagination break through the linguistic hierarchy? Can a revolution in storytelling start from a school bench? The two act, 90 minute performance of English Medium attempts to ask such questions while it tries to tickles your funny bone.
