Rohtak, May 23, 2025: The Department of Acting, Faculty of Film & Television, DLC SUPVA, continued its acclaimed staging of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot with a compelling second-day performance.
The event was graced by the presence of Former Haryana Minister Manish Kumar Grover, who deeply appreciated the powerful performances by the acting students. Vice Chancellor Prof. Shree Prakash Singh, Registrar Dr Gunjan Malik along with other university officials also attended the performance.
Visibly impressed by the play, former minister Grover lauded the varsity’s commitment to fostering cultural and intellectual expression through theatre. He said, “I was truly moved by the brilliance and maturity shown by the students of DLC SUPVA. Their performance was not only artistically rich but also emotionally profound. Such initiatives are essential to build a thinking and expressive youth.”
“Theatre has always been a mirror to society and a platform for critical thought. Witnessing this performance was a reminder of the power of theatre in shaping thoughtful individuals,” remarked VC Prof. Shree Prakash Singh. “DLC SUPVA continues to affirm its commitment to the arts, critical engagement, and nurturing future leaders in the creative and performing fields,” he added.
Registrar Dr Gunjan Malik urged the students to continue exploring new horizons in learning and creativity and make their and varsity’s name known worldwide.
Waiting for Godot, often hailed as a cornerstone of modernist theatre, revolves around two central characters—Vladimir and Estragon—who wait endlessly and fruitlessly for the mysterious Godot. With its minimalist action and razor-sharp dialogue, the play explores themes of existential uncertainty, the futility of human effort, and the persistent search for meaning.
This production, directed by Dr. Savita Rani, alumna of the National School of Drama, features four sixth-semester acting students of DLC SUPVA and is part of the department’s Annual Theatre Production series. The final show is scheduled for 24 May at 4:30 PM, open to the public at the mini-auditorium.
