The dream of MBA's

26 MBA students have come together on a project….possibly the biggest project in the history of Cranfield MBA…..a project that started almost a month ago and will culminate in the lasts day of the MBA.
It is a project which is very unique. All of us have been divided into teams with a few students directing these small teams. Every member has been assigned a role and these directors are now working together with these numerous teams to ensure that the output is quality and surpasses all expectations. It is a project that will have to be presented before the entire MBA batch, their partners and families as well as faculty. Lastly, it is a project that will be assessed, but not in marks.
Have I gained your full attention now?? Ok….I now let the cat out of the bag.
The project is the production of William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" to be staged on 1st September 2005 in the school. The costume's have been tried and are now final. Every evening, the various scenes of the play are being rehearsed. I too have a small and comic role - that of Flute, who plays the female character Thisbe as well.
To orient ourselves with the play, the movie on this play was screened for the benefit of all before the practice began.
Besides the most famous question doing the rounds in Cranfield - "Have you found a job?", the next most famous questions are - "Howz your play practice coming up? Which character are you playing?" It is turning out to be a great experience, especially for me who has to practice speaking in a female voice as well.
