The finals of the National Drama Festival (NDF) begins tonight at the National Cultural Centre with one of the plays in the Open Full-Length Category. This festival allows us to continue an interesting study of the contemporary Guyanese stage. One of the notable observations about this theatre is the variety seen in it today, and the way the festival exhibits this in its mixture of old and new plays.
The NDF attracts the leading companies in the country as well as a range of new groups, and these have offered a number of old established Guyanese plays that themselves represent some trends in the local theatre.
