If Veronica isn't steamrolling people, he is praising
them sky high. I am not sure to call his write-up on
the tiatr "Daddy" a review, but whatever he has
written is full of accolades from the artistes to the
person who set up the sound system.
I saw the play in Dubai, but found it has no great
storyline. It's very straight, fastforwarded between
years. For long gaps, the hero's name and presence is
absent. It is melodramic, as most tiatrs are, but it
lacks depth and substance. It has a touch of irony
when the hero hugs his daughter who he hates for
having born lame, though he wished to have his first
child a daughter and his wife a son.
It is also ironical that the hero is having AIDS after
going to America, but the reasons for it are not
disclosed.
I had a chance to meet with the actors (I won't name
them) two days after the show and discuss the play. I
also talked about the general political scene and why
the trio had not come up with political mockety, their
forte. The song on the past prime ministers isn't the
type tiatrgoers would care about. Political "zapati"
is what they expect and want. The trio said that there
is no subject matter, perhaps because their prime
target Parrikar is no more in power. Rane is probably
a "soft" target.
I thought the ending should have been made more
suspenseful if the final curtain had dropped when he
hugged his daughter instead of walking out of the door
with his suitcase returning back to America.
There is a hint of his "affair" with a married woman,
who and her husband accompanies the hero to Goa.
Though denied by the woman (Sharon), husband (Wilson)
and the hero, the illusion remains that there is more
than what one sees.
The comedy wasn't rip-roaring but passable. Perhaps
because the sideshow was not well adjusted to the main
play. Selvy is good but still a look way to come on
par with Anthony Mendes, though he seems to imitate
the late comedian's style of singing.
