‘I Love You’, a tiatr written by Aamar Sawanth, directed by Aston Soares and presented by
Being Noble, Calangute, focuses on greed for wealth and property and negligence
of guardians.
The story revolves around Rocky (Benzer
Fernandes), who is married to Riva (Senita Fernandes), and Vicky (Vishal
Gawas), his close associate, who is a bachelor. His job leads Rocky to find
accommodation in one of D’Souza’s (Felizardo Goes) flats.
D’Souza provides accommodation only to
bachelors. He assumes that Rocky is a bachelor and assists him. Bosco (Efifanio
Cabral), who is employed by D’Souza, helps Rocky by providing necessities of
day-to-day life. Meanwhile, Vicky visits Rocky, who introduces him to D’Souza’s
daughter, Meena (Meena Goes).
Meena, who is interested in learning music, believes that Vicky
will be a good tutor and interaction between them leads to a love affair. When
Riva makes an unexpected entry, Rocky assures her that he truly loves her. But
when D’Souza steps in, Rocky, to save his skin, introduces his wife as his
aunt. From there, D’Souza eyes Riva.
When Bosco confesses that he is not deaf and unveils the truth,
what plans do Rocky, Vicky and Riva work upon to trap D’Souza? Do they succeed
in their mission? What is the end result?
Tiatr ‘I Love You’ carries a dose of comedy in the first half,
followed by tragedy in the second half. But the presentation is typical to a
Marathi ‘nattak’ on the tiatr stage, except for presentation of songs.
Vishal and Benzer as close friends have given a fine
performance. They have been ably assisted by Meena and Senita. Felizardo Goes
takes the cake for his commendable stage presence and act. Efifanio Cabral
entertains with his swift movements and witty dialogues.
In the category of songs, solos by Carey Fernandes, Valencio
Afonso and Eloy Lucas, a trio by Valanka, Trisco and Mcvean, a choral by
Trisco, Llyoed, Cybel and Lizia, a duo by Dylon and Boy were entertaining. Nova
Fernandes and his team provided good music to the songs.
The
stage sets were good, but the lights were poorly executed.
