2. 11 am now the entry of John the security guard who is checking the passes of the students entering the museum. A person from the admin staff of the museum greed’s the students and teacher, and welcome everyone inside. Here comes another sergeant from museum staff to show and explain the galleries and the masterpieces kept in the museum.

Some students are very curious to know about every minor detail about what happened in the past.

3. Hey it’s lunchtime. The school teacher takes everyone for lunch. As the kids are not very young, they are asking for their lunch.

But suddenly hey what happened one sergeant from the staff says “what happened lights gone! And all alarms are off”.

Lights are back all are back but only the museum staff and all are in a state of shock. There is more chaos everywhere. The museum’s security is summoned.

Mr Smith urges everyone: Be where you are. Don’t move, sorry to say but your trip is over maim. Little ones please be patient your trip has gone over a sudden emergency change.

(Mr Smith closes the door of the museum)

Mr Johnson: all suspects lined up here

(Mr Johnson says to other staff)

Mr Johnson- everyone please listen – it is very sad that the golden chariot from the Oxus treasure has been stolen.

FINDINGS:

With the help of the security officer, mar Johnson comes to know that somebody has cut down the power supply and done tampering with the gensets.

The cc tv was covered so that no one can see them

SUSPECTS:

 

Mr Johnson now asks every suspect where were they from 1: to 2 pm

Suspect no1.

The teacher: I was with my students giving their lunch. Later on, I was keeping an eye on each child. As their parents have sent them on a trip in my custody, it’s my responsibility to check on them. I am not a thief. I am a teacher who teaches how to become a good person, not a thief.

Suspect no2.

Security guard: Sir, I am a poor guard who is serving this museum for seven years with no bad record and with a pure character. It was me who went to see why the power went off. the three I saw Genset was turned off, there was no power cut.

Suspect no3.

A staff person - I was not here when the power went off, I was taking notes from my senior, about the new visitors who were to arrive at the museum.

Suspect no4:

A magician- I was collecting supplies from the backyard for the kids to entertain with my magic tricks.

All the suspects had something suspicious all were having their excuses. but the inspector found out who it was at the last good thing that happened was that museum itself.

NAB THE CULPRIT!!

1 Was everyone lying, or there was truth in everyone words.

2. What were the clues that helped the inspector.

3 What are views over this challenging and adventurous where no one was able to give clear answers.

4. How would you find the missing thing if something happened in a big museum in front of you and you were given the chance to find the hidden robber.

(Actually, the whole play is a work of fiction, discussed among the four friends who were started by Monti.)
