Tiatr Review Courtesy: Navhind Times (J P Pereira) 'Xaronnaeta', (Submission) is the 'tiatr'- that I bagged the second prize at the Kala Academy Tiatr Competition. 2002. An outstanding play written and directed by Danny de Ribandar, keeps the audience fully engrossed throughout its run. Diana, Rima and Zelia are sisters. Diana is a doctor, Rima is employed and Zelia a student. Rima is secretly in love with Franky. The mother of the three sisters, Sonia, is hardworking and has brought up the children single handily. The daughter are told that their father, Donald, was an upright policeman who died whilst performing his duty whereas in reality he had actually driven the mother and his four daughters out of the house when he fell in love with a woman called Bela. One of the daughter dies, as the mother has no money to treat her sickness. The father re-turns as he has fallen into bad times but the wife does not want to forgive or accept him back. The daughters want to know who this man is and even accuse the mother of having an affair with him, as they see him corning to the house often. How the daughters discover about the father and the stunning twist in the climax completes the story of this interesting play. A well written script, slick direction and natural acting by most of the amateur cast together with appropriate background music makes this play a treat to watch. Rosalia Rodrigues (Ribandar) is outstanding as the mother Sonia. Her portrayal of emotions, whether she is happy or sad are so good and natural. NO DOUBT SHE WON THE BEST ACTRESS AWARD AT THE COMPETITION. Sandra acts well as Diana but her dialogue delivery should be a bit slow in some instances: Rosy as Rima, Aureo as Franky and Luis as Donald emote well but Dynicia as Zelia is a bit uneasy. The setting of the entire house by Austin is done well depicting the sitting room, dining room kitchen and bedroom and good use is made of the different rooms. The light effects by Sandip are well timed and the special scenes of the hen looking after her chicks by Inacio are presented well during the opening song. Music by Agnelo Dias is good and so are some of the songs sung by the various cast. A PLAY THAT IS WORTH WATCHING. ########################################################################## # Send submissions for Goanet to [EMAIL PROTECTED] # # PLEASE remember to stay on-topic (related to Goa), and avoid top-posts # # More details on Goanet at http://joingoanet.shorturl.com/ # # Please keep your discussion/tone polite, to reflect respect to others # ##########################################################################
