Mother Teresa’s life history to be staged as docudrama

Thiruvananthapuram: The unparallelled life history of Nobel laureate Mother Teresa will soon be staged as a docudrama here next month.

The city-based Chavara Cultural Centre, in association with Kala, a cultural outfit here, are jointly staging the drama to commemorate the life and services of ‘Mother’ and to raise funds for helping the destitute children fallen as cancer victims.

The first show of ‘Mother Teresa’ would be held at Karthika Tirunal Theatre here on February 17, in the presence of significant personalities from socio-cultural, political and spiritual spheres of society, a release here said.

Auxiliary bishop of Latin Arch Diocese of Thiruvananthapuram, Rev Dr Christudas would inaugurate the show and Malayalam University Vice Chancellor K Jayakumar would deliver the Mother Teresa Commemorative speech during the function.

Mother’s embodiment of kindness, compassion and her services to the poor would be showcased in the docudrama, it said.

Ambi, Vijayan Thomas, Sushama, Hithu Praveen, Mohankumar and several others are part of the drama.

The organisers have plans to stage the drama in all other districts of the state in the next six months, the release added.
