In a flashback, the story is revealed about Cletus, his wife Elsa and their two sons Newton (Velroy/Peter de Pedda) and Noel (Nathan/Ivon). The couple has affection only towards Newton and Noel is neglected. But Andrea (Connie), who serves in the house, tries to shelter Noel and extends all her support to him.
Finally, Newton becomes an engineer and Noel is content with his service as a mechanic. The parents humiliate Noel for his humble profession, while they sing all praises of Newton’s career. The siblings finally decide to enter into marriage. Newton weds Neomi (Daisy), who is a flirt and Noel ties the knot with Ruth (Clancy), a simpleton by nature.
Noel and Ruth are blessed with a child in marriage, but Newton and Neomi are left childless. But there’s a reason for Neomi not to conceive and the truth unfolds a little later.
After the hard truth gets revealed about Neomi, Newton resorts to alcohol and becomes an alcoholic. What transverses in the family are well presented in the second half of the drama.
Pascoal de Costa’s tiatr ‘Mukutt Sorgimcho’ carries a simple day-to-today story with love, betrayal, jealousy, sacrifice wrapped all in one and a message at the end. Who will ultimately win the heavenly crown is revealed in the presentation.
There’s a good cast on stage and each of the artistes has given a fine performance. Joao Manuel and Elsa stand out as guardians, while Velroy and Nathan as child siblings and Peter de Pedda and Ivon as matured brothers have played their respective roles with gusto. Daisy and Clancy have extended good support to the main cast. Pascoal da Costa makes a cameo, but delivers messages with power. This tiatr would be a fine presentation during the Lenten season for reflection and renewal of life.
For some lighter moments, there’s Connie, Kenny, Sandra, Clarence and Fatimo coming together with a good dose of laughter pills and they entertain with clean comedy and a message or two on preserving traditional occupations and protecting the environment.
In the category of songs, there’s Clemcy and Sweety coming in for the opening song, followed by solos, from Marcus Vaz, Erica, Abony de Souza, Rons, Violet and Velroy. Other songs are by Pascoal, Manuel and Ivon, Peter/Roshan, Violet and Erica, Rons and Sweety and Abony, Violet, Erica and Sweety. New faces for renditions on stage were a treat to the eyes and ears. The future of tiatr lies in their hands. Cresto and his team assisted with live music offstage, while Jose Carvalho was of help with the background music.
The stage sets are by Anthony de Ambaji and Tony assisted with the light effects.
