Today the life patterns of everybody have become a very competitive race with or with out one’s consent. Needless to say as a result the human beings are left with lot of stress and stress related health issues. Engaging in humour and laughter is a proven mode of releasing such stress.

Making people laugh is a difficult and delicate art. There could be very few comedians who have mastered the art of humour and Tennyson Cooray is one of them. His special talents in humour excelled him in fields of Stage, Cinema and TV over the past decades.

In his drama recently staged, ‘I am Sri Lanka’, it help the viewer’s smile all time whilst conveying an important message. The theme ‘Uppaththiya saha wippaththya Athara Prathipaththiya netham Naspaththya’ (absence of proper policies in between the birth and death will result in disaster).

Any country’s governance and control transforms its citizens through the Ministers, MPs of the central government and provincial councils and other key official of administration. Mismanagement at this level leads to tarnishing the image of a ruler. Therefore, officials are expected to discharge their duties diligently in an exemplary manner.

The organisers of the drama are Royal College Union’s Table Tennis Advisory and Management Committee. All proceeds and profits from the drama will be channelled to the development of the table tennis game at Royal College.

This is the second consecutive time that the committee has chosen a Sinhala drama as a fund raiser.

They are extremely happy to note that effort also supports the Sri Lankan drama industry.
