Come Friday and one of author Katie Bagli’s stories will be brought to life on stage, in the form of a play. Her popular book Ishaan’s Treasures (The Mangrove Foundation) has been adapted into a play and will be performed by a group of 20 children from Chembur-based Club Elves. “For over a month now, the children have been practising tirelessly, and with a lot of enthusiasm,” says educationist Anju Narula, who is also the founder of this children’s club, where activities and workshops are conducted.
The play, with the same name, is being performed at the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS), and revolves around the lead character Ishaan. The young boy, who moves to the city with his family, gets overwhelmed by the seashore, but ends up befriending Nature Uncle, who, upon seeing Ishaan’s enthusiasm for the marine world, shares his knowledge about the fascinating marine creatures. This shapes the young boy’s future, and he ends up becoming a marine biologist.
