TIATRO "GRANDPA"
Charminng Antonette de Maina
On 26th of this month in Panjim at Kala Academy A/C Hall, at 10.30 in the morning, I saw the Tiatro “GRANDPA” written and directed by Comedian Sally. Though it was a nice Tiatro, story wise as well as comedy yet it was very sad to see only a small number of attendees attending it.

The main story was good related to the revenge and envy in the family in which three well-known directors namely Mario Menezes, Pascoal Rodrigues and Comedian Agostinho played major roles in addition to the important role played by the director of this Tiatro, Comedian Sally.

Tari as usual was the centre of attraction in his role as the abroad based son who was ably assisted in his role by pretty looking Antonette de Maina as his wife. The role played by a small boy as their son was fantastic. Very accurately and admirably seasoned artiste Pascoal Rodriges played the role of Grandpa. He was very nicely depicted as a prisoner in the Prison Cell. Again, as usual Roma did justice to her role by very appropriately playing the role of a Nun.
Mario Menezes and Sally
In the comedy part, Comedian Agostinho put his input well by being witty and sarcastic and he was ably supported by other comedians well especially by comedian Joana.

In the Side Show part, Marcus Vaz’s solo in his recent trip to USA along with Samy Tavares troupe was very interesting. Saby de Divar’s solo was applauded the most where he tears the government into pieces. He also rendered a trio along with his partners on FC Goa football team. Mario Menezes’ trio with his partners was very informative, so also the solos of Rosario de Benaulim and Pascoal Rodrigues.

Congratulations to the director and his entire troupe for staging a nice Tiatro.
