Seen above is one scene of cruelty
Since this Tiatro is going to be staged all over Goa, around 40 Shows as per the information, I refrain from disclosing the full story in details but just a gist.
The story is surrounded on three households, well knit neighbours belonging to the three religious communities, namely Hindu, Christian and Muslim. They reside in an area where there is no need to have partition of compound wall. However, gradually, due to the infiltration in their domain of Satanic Hindu fanatics under the leadership of one Pundalik, the peace in that area is disturbed leading to communal disharmony. But, at last everyone involved in this disharmony realized their mistake. To see how this happened, one has to watch this Tiatro. The role of Pundalik was nicely played by Andrew who depicts no resemblance of Muthalik.
Seen above 2nd, is Andrew as Pundalik
In late sixties, to challenge the "dadagiri" of Dayananda Bandodcar and to humiliate him, in his Tiatro “Bondolist”, Nelson Afonso introduced one character exactly similar to Bandodcar in shape, face and looks. At least Tousif de Navelim was much considerate in this respect but Nelson was not for Bandodcar. Playing the role of a Hindu woman, seasoned character artiste Jane excelled very well. During her stay in Kuwait for over a decade she acted in many Tiatros doing different roles and for that matter extremely well especially in the Tiatros staged by the late Rosary Ferns. She also performed in Mando Festivals we organized in Kuwait proving to be a very good singer. The others who played their roles well were veteran Anil Kumar, Ortencio, Teotonio as Police Inspector and the director himself.
Seen above are comedians Neto & Ortencio
In the comedy segment which had no link with the main story, acrobatic comedian Neto produced peals of laughter in the hall. He is the natural comedian and currently he according to my observation is one of the top comedians. Neto was ably supported in the comedy part by his comedy partner Ortencio. This pair currently makes a very good comedians partnership
In the Side Show songs there was a good mixture of Solos and other categories in which every singer performed well. Though some of the big names in the industry were missing yet their absence went totally unnoticed without any importance mainly because of the high quality of the play that totally captivated the minds of the attendees.

One more scene
During the interval, three special invitees namely Mr. Nilkan, Mr. Tomazinho Cardoso and Mr. Kamat were brought to the Stage to say a few words. In their short speeches, all three of them showered fabuluous praises on Tousif de Navelim assuring him of their comfort. But as somebody remarked after the Show, where was this trio sleeping when the first Show at Margao was on the verge of collapse?
While concluding the Show, the writer and director of the Tiatro, in folded hands going on his knees and thanking the people for their total support to him, asked the Goans never to allow Akantvadis to destroy Goa.
