Dears,
If you are in Goa do not miss this opportunity. The Verdict was a novel
fusion of props used in Tiatr and presentation like a regular English play.

This is the second play production of Kala Mogi, Candolim.
They had staged their first English play The
Verdict in 2006 which was a big success. o is a
cultural institution working on the field of Goan culture
since the last 30 years. This play is the translation of
Tomazinho Cardozo's Konkani play Mhonvall
Vikh. It is translated into English by Irene Cardozo.
Sweet Poison deals with the impact of tourism
on Goan society. It was in the beginning the 80's that
tourism activities in Goa started flourishing. There was a
boom of construction of hotels in Goa particularly in the
coastal belt of Goa. Low income tourists coming from
European countries as well as from other parts of India
started living as paying guests in private houses.
Government started giving financial support to the owners of
the houses to renovate their houses if they wished to use
them as 'guest-houses'. Hundreds of Goan families
opted to convert their houses into 'guest-houses'.
They began to earn a lot of money by renting their houses to
tourists. Tourists, foreigners as well as Indians, began to
live in the houses along with the family members. What was
the effect of this on the lives of children in the house?
Did it affect in any way the culture of Goa? This is what
Sweet Poison makes an attempt to expose.
Directed by Tomazinho Cardozo, the play features Shivanand Naik, Joslyn
Misquita,Irene Cardozo, Selza Lopes and
Comedian 64 in prominent roles. They are ably supported by
Mathias Mascarenhas, Assis Cardozo, Dnyaneshwar Morajkar,
Larisa D'Souza, Manohar Redkar and Tukaram Naik.
The stage sets are designed by Timothy Dias. Light Effects
are provided by Dnanjay Phalkar and the Background Music by
Vikas Chopdekar. Sweet Poison will be staged on
9th August, 2008 at 7.00 p.m. at Ravindra Bhavan, Margao,
and on 11th August, 2008 at 7.00 pm at the Kala Akademy,
Panjim. The admission is free and the English Theatre loving
Goans are invited to witness the same.
Tomazinho Cardozo and his Kala Mogi dramatic troupe
ventured on English Theatre stage in 2006 because there
were/are hardly any dramatic troupes producing English
dramas in Goa. Secondly, unlike English plays coming to Goa
from Bombay and other parts of the country, the scripts of
his plays are based on social issues prevailing in the Goan
society and the audience will witness something that
directly affects their lives. This activity will also give
an opportunity to Goan youth to display their dramatic
talents on the English Theatre stage of Goa.
