The Bishop's Candlesticks ----A ONE ACT Play

Preamble

As I was going thro my Light Readings published in my blog site it struck me that by oversight or otherwise none of the one act plays I had taken part during my school /
college days had found any entry so far in my blog.Since I was certain that it would make a good reading if made available,I immediately resolved to attempt to recllect one play titled 'The Bishop's Candlesicks' in which I had played the role of a convict sometime in mid 50s.In absence of any written text not being available I had no recourse but to kindle my memory to put down the play in writing.

I confess the play as revealed in this blog is not the original based on VICTOR HUGO'S LES MISERABLES,Due to passage of time blunting my memory I had to take recourse to some minor changes in the original script,If in doing so I had failed to sustain adequately the interest of the reader,I seek Ur pardon,However having said so I am reasonably certain that any reader would find adequate material to sustain interest.

I dedicate this play to all members of the Kavitanjaly family besides my other well wishers and Friends.

If any Reader of this play has in his possession the original play I would request the person to let me know whether or not any changes found in this write up has drifted from the original,positive or otherwise.

Wish You an enjoyable reading.
