Tiatro "Daddy" in Kuwait.
I am sure everyone will know who the tiatrist Samuel Carvalho is. Hailing
from Majorda Salcette Goa, Samuel is currently one of the well known Goan
Stage writers, Directors and Actors. Exactly a year ago he came to Kuwait
to stage his all ladies show and returned back to Goa with a sense of total
satisfaction after giving a very good performance of his show. This time on
16th February 2007 he is coming back to Kuwait with yet another good Tiatro
Daddy which is acclaimed as one of the seasons best Tiatros. In all 52
shows of this Tiatro were held in Goa besides 12 in Mumbai and now to
satisfy the tastes of his audience who are eagerly waiting to witness
Daddy, Samuel Carvalho is going to stage this Tiatro not only in Kuwait on
16th of next month but also in other parts of the Gulf prior to Kuwait. This
Tiator will be staged at Hawally A/C Hall, starting at 3.30 p.m. According
to information, Daddy is Samuels third drama, the first being 'Hem Tumkam
Sogleank' while in between he produced "Portugues Goykar" which was staged
all over Goa and in some of the countries in the Gulf as well. Samuel is not
a fresher in Kuwait, in fact he worked in Kuwait for many years for M/s Al
Riyadh Trading Co. from the time he landed in Kuwait in 1991 after the
invasion and liberation of Kuwait and left Kuwait for good almost after a
decade. During his residence in Kuwait he acted in some of the Tiatros
organized by the Kuwait Goan tiatrists, one being that of Anthony de
Majorda. First time in his lifetime he acted in Goa for Patrick Dourados
"Noketr" and gained tremendous goodwill and abundant appreciation from the
audience. His favourite role is that of a villain but he is also known as a
good character actor. As a tiatrist he acted for many of the top directors
namely C. D. Silva, Anthony San, Milagres de Chandor and Comedian Agostinho.
This will be the second time he is touring Kuwait with his own troupe and
own drama comprising all the topmost artistes namely Trio Kings
(Anthony-Joaquim-Jr. Rod), Wilmix and Sharon, Mathew, Meena Leitao, Joe
Rose, Felina, Roma, Shrutika, comedians Selvy and Agostinho and three best

will accompany the artistes. Stage setting by Santana SPA. Mike System by

According to information, a portion of the profit derived from this Tiatro
in Kuwait will go for the benefit of one young handicapped and crippled girl
from St. Cruz Ilhas, Goa. This young girl is none other than the beloved
niece of the late Francisco Araujo who was hanged in Kuwait a few months
before the invasion of Kuwait. The organizers are hell bent to help this
young girl who needs so much of love and care. She is totally deformed
physically. After her uncle Francisco Araujo was hanged in Kuwait, Francis
brother Daniel and the father of the handicapped girl who was also working
in Kuwait died leaving the deformed girls plight in misery. I am sure many
of our Goans are aware of the events taken place those days and what led
Francisco Araujo to go to the gallows. I still remember how in big number
Goans came for his funeral in Kuwait City Church and how local English Press
highlighted in front pages his funeral. I was one of the persons
responsible to organize his funeral and burry his body by lowering his
coffin into the grave at Shuleibhikat Cemetry. I still remember how almost
every Goan that time praying for him and also praying to God to give Francis
courage to face this death. And as per Fr. Pinto who witnessed his death as
a representative of Catholic Church, the late Francis never trembled nor was
afraid to face the gallows. His last words were Oh Jesus, Help me to face
this death. And actually Jesus helped Francis to face the gallows with
courage. Normally according to the officials close to the gallows, those
persons facing the hangings show lot of resentment and opposition to move to
the gallows but in the case of Francis Araujo, he did not resist but walked
peacefully to the gallows, of course to the surprise of hangmen. May his
soul rest in peace and may God give wisdom to the audience to patronize
Daddy so that it gets good profit to ameliorate the sufferings of the
deformed niece of Francisco Araujo.
