This new tiatr from Comedian Sally centres around ungrateful children who ill-treat and cheat their widowed mother and an elder brother, who helped educate them.
It opens on a widowed mother who is happy as her family has done quite well. Her husband died at an early age, but the elder son, Jerome, continued with the dairy business started by the father. He remained uneducated, ran the milk business, and educated his younger siblings Alisha and Cliff. Alisha is now married and settled in London while Cliff after finishing his education in Bengaluru, is now holding a managerial post and is in love with the boss’s daughter, Joylixa. One day, Alisha and Cliff come visiting, and are disgusted with the smell of cattle and cowdung. They ask the brother to sell the cattle but he refuses. Following this, a plot is hatched by both the selfish and scheming siblings to sell off the house. They lie to the old mother, that they want to build a bungalow. Watch the rest on stage, as the heartless kids and the girlfriend too, resort to cruelty.
The tale moves at a brisk pace. The acting is good, the comedy is clean and amusing with the characters beating each other quite often. The band is great and backs the songs well. Romeo provides the lights to sets by Ambajim. The cast has Denzilia Menezes playing the old mother. The young actress is superb in the old woman’s role withgreat acting, good dialogue delivery, and a right dress sense. Crostina is perfect as the scheming Alisha, soft spoken but evil. There is Joylixa playing her namesake, cute but quite evil. Pascoal is the poor uneducated Jerome and is good in all the acts while Alijoy is aptly cast as the ruthless and greedy Cliff. Aleixo de Calangute plays a builder and later a doctor, very well. Mario also impresses in various roles. Semica, David, Dylan, and Sally provide good humour. Some incidents are very amusing.
Nazareth (saxophone) leads the fine band that has Macroy (trumpet), Trian (bass), Manuel (drums), and Claron (keyboard). The opening song is a solo by Joylixa. There are more songs from Denzilia, Joylixa, Saby de Divar, Pascoal Rodrigues, Agusto de Calangute, Alijoy, and others.
