*"Roddo Naka" For Bahrain Goans* One of the prime form of entertainment for Goans in Goa and around the globe is the konkani tiatr. The past years saw many Goan theatre groups touring the gulf and Bahrain was included in the itinerary. However, after the show of Pio Fernandes featuring the nightingale of Konkani stage Lorna in November 2000, there has been a complete silence of the Konkani tiatrists and tiatr organisers in Bahrain. The reason - not the unusual Goan politics had led to innumerable hardships for the organisers of this show and thereafter quietude engulfed the Konkani stage in Bahrain.
Its after a gap of five years the Goans in Bahrain will now have an opportunity to watch a drama by a full professional troupe flown in from Goa. La Ferns - the only Goan restaurant in Bahrain in association with The Folk Theatre has announced a drama on 18 November'2005. Having performed to houseful audiences in Goa, Mumbai and Pune, the top theatre personality and comedian of the kKnkani stage Prince Jacob is set to present 'Roddo Naka' at the Bishop Trinanzi Auditorium, Manama at 6.30 p.m. The comedy by Prince Jacob and his brother Humbert makes the theatre lovers flock to his performances. In his play" Roddo Naka", the director has touched upon the social issues mixed with comedy and scintilating songs. Further details of this show in Bahrain can be had from La Ferns Restaurant. Meanwhile, Prince Jacob's longest running play "Padri" (315 shows) that has been made into a film is scheduled for release in October 2005. The film under the direction of Rajesh Fernandes is produced by Raymond Quadros. The Mangalorean maestro Wilfy Rebimbus has scripted the lyrics for the film featuring Goan and Mangalorean artistes.
