On the evening of June 5th, the 19th Drama Night of the Faculty of English Language and Culture (FELC) was held in Yunshan Hall on the North Campus. Students this year focused on the theme of female by deducing four attractive stories: Dancing at Lughnasa, The Beauty Queen of Leenane, A Doll’s House and By the Bog of Cats. Being the biggest winner that night, A Doll’s House finally made a sweep of six prizes including the Best Leading Actor, the Best Director and the Best Stage Effect.
MAO Sihui, Director of the English Center of Shantou University, commented on the competition.

Besides, because of the endeavor performers made, the Drama Night was an audio-visual feast in terms of creative adaptation and stage design.
