Yesterday, 17.10.14, at
Panjim Kala Acdemy Hall, at 7.30 PM, I had the opportunity to watch Prince
Jacob’s latest Tiatro “SUKHANT TOXEM DUKHANT” which was attended almost by the
capacity crowd.
Opening Song
It was an excellent Tiatro, well scripted and
very well enacted by all the artistes but especial mention must go to the veteran
and still attractive Annie Quadros whose role as a devoted and faithful wife
was spotless. Opposite to her as her unfaithful husband Jose played an equally
appropriate role and as their school going daughter, kudos to youngster Sonia
for playing a magnificent role at this young age. Bright future is in store for
her on Konkani Stage. New entrant in
this troupe Valencia did right justice to her role with her attractive
presentation and appropriate acting.
Seen Annie Quadros singing her solo
Comedy roles were
beautifully handled by Humbert, Prince Jacob and Hazl who nicely and appropriately synchronized
into the bracket of two well known comedian brothers. She showed all the
smartness and caliber to rise to the occasion and in fact she did rise.
One of the scenes
The central idea of the
story reverberate the words the newly married couple utter in the Church at the
time of their marriage to remain firm to each other thru thick and thin –
“SUKHANT TOXEM DUKHANT”. But do they remain firm? No and Yes and to see the
correct answer one has to personally see this Tiatro which is going very well
all over Goa.
Seen Humbert & Prince Jacob singing on Brazil janket
In the Side Show songs
Annie Quadros renders a very good solo, so also her song she beautifully sings with Valencia. Ignatius
de Xelvon’s both the solos are worth admiring, so too Cajetan de Curtorim’s
solo on looter Policeman. Prince Jacob duo with Humbert on Ministers Brazil
World Cup junket was very well accepted by the audience, so too their trio with
Cajetan de Curtorim on Dawlikar and Bikini.

Though the Side Show
songs were good but presence of one or two more well-known songsters would have
given an added booster to this already well enacted Drama.
Last scene of the Tiatro
Well done Prince Jacob
and his troupe.
