Punn Tum Goykar was a seat sizziling play written and directed by Fr Lucas Rodrigues SFX opened last night to a near capacity audience at the Archbishop Lanfranc School hall in croydon surrey, a thought proviking drama with all our traditional fun sketches aimed at retriving our culture from the mongrel society we live in England today a play so educational that even officials from the nearby Home office could have attended and claimed on their expense forms under ethnic education/Goan. Instead of worrying about local 16 & 17 year olds going to school and who would look after their children to our own people finding a culture clash where their work colleagues are all one parent families and have discarded the church our langauge and family life in their quest for commotion and loss of idintity. From my own working experience in the 1970s Work Colleagues had difficulty in spelling Melvyn Fernandes but had no difficulty in spelling Martina Narvitoliova The next show is at Wyvern Theatre Swindon on Sunday 6th September and at Wembley on Sunday 13 September -Copland Community Centre. For Tickets contact Francis Dsilva on 07908591759 or Pilar Fathers on 0208 6482101.A must see show for every Goan.
At the Goa Day event at Aylesford on 23 August I came across a recently published Konkani/English Dictionary I will try and get details in the next posting. May I take this opportunity of thanking the Goanet team for keeping the Goan Presence on the Superhighway for the last fiveteen years - Happy Birthday once again.
