Ekroma Realtors, a BOI approved real estate and Development Company recently extended a Platinum Sponsorship to the British School in Colombo to stage the all-time favourite play Pygmalion. The play which was performed by the students of the senior school was staged from March 30 to April1at the British School Auditorium.
Pygmalion, a play by George Bernard Shaw revolves around a Victorian professor who makes a bet that he can teach a Cockney flower girl to speak proper English and pass her off as a Duchess at an ambassador’s garden party.
The ensuing antics at the language classes makes for a hilarious comedy but also serves as a parody of what British society was at the time.
Speaking after the opening night, Ekroma’s Business Associate Manager Yogi Lokumanna said, “We are indeed happy to collaborate with the British School on this endeavour.
The play was well directed and the acting was on par with professional theatre. The cast and crew did a brilliant job.”
“Ekroma’s signature property, Elegant 16 is situated opposite the British School and we felt this was a great opportunity to market our brand to potential homeowners whose kids are students of the school.
As a company we also want to be affiliated with brands that are known for their quality products and services. We strongly believe therefore, that the British School is a world-class educator”, she added.
