Hi Brian,
Firstly, kudos to you for putting up a lovely
interview article about an extravagant tiatr "Chuk Konnachi" on goanet.
I agree with you that it was the best and greatest tiatr held in
Toronto's history.
I reviewed the interview article and was
wondering how a mention was not made of the transcriber of the play. I
watched this play over 20 years ago which is originally called 'Mog,
Kazar, Divorce' written and directed by M. Boyer featuring C.Alvares,
Adv. Mike Mehta, Prem Kumar, Antonette and others; who did an
outstanding job. Originally the play was in two parts, whoever has transcripted
this play has done an outstanding job knowing his job well. According to my
viewpoint which you don't necessarily
need to agree to, I deeply feel that the main credit should be given to
the transcriber of the play without whom the entire show wouldn't be as
successful and great as it turned out to be. I could imagine the
tremendous amount of time and effort put in by the transcriber in
putting the entire play material together.
A lot of times in
life, we tend to give credit to the final product and the salesperson
for doing his/her job well in selling the product but we fail to
realise the efforts put by that little person in the corner
initialising the entire process in making the final product as
desirable.
I feel that the first question to be asked to the
Director was " how did the play come about? " Me and my friends,
present at the Tiatr, some of whom have pursued journalism, kept
wondering who might have transcribed the play because we felt that, the
transcriber should have been applauded or credited the most.
Its
not just your review but we have read a lot of other online reviews
about the Tiatr but no where was a mention made of the transcriber.
Needless to say, the director, producer,stage crew and the enitre cast
put in a lot of hardwork, commitment and dedication to make the entire
show a great success but I feel everyone involved in the entire show
should be applauded and credited equally.Even on the day of the Tiatr,
the Director thanked everyone but failed to thank the transcriber
without whose effort Toronto Goans wouldn't have seen this examplary
play in Toronto.
You are a great columnist and I really loved
your writeup and would appreciate if considering my suggesstion, we do
applaud and appreciate the work of this little corner person whose not
been spoken of in the entire success and celebration of the Tiatr.
"Hats
off to the transcriber of the play", whoever he/she might be and
wherever he/she maybe, which we are not aware of till now unless we
know of it through our fabulous Director of "Chuk Konnachi", Marshal
Fernandes.
I thank you for your time in reading my email and I'm
hoping positively that the person behind the success will be applauded
by our Toronto Goan community who have enjoyed this remarkable Tiatr. I
would like to see his/her picture on the internet very soon.
God Bless and Mog Assum,
Agostino Moraes
