The flowery picture of a trip and stay in London, besides the actual, thorny situations there, has been projected in the drama. The wild dream and unending quest to the distant land by the elders also forms the core of the main subject.
The story revolves around Robert’s (Anthony Carvalho) family. His wife Clemy (Irene Cardozo) only dreams of going to London and Faterpenkar (Tukaram Naik) assists in preparing the inmates’ Portuguese passports.
In order to fulfil her dream, she instigates her only son Rodney (Shivanand Naik) to make his way there. She seeks aid of Rodney’s fiancée, Jasmin (Jocelyn Misquita) to make this dream come true. But Robert’s brother Lazar (Christopher Menezes) refuses to support them.
With a secured job in Goa and drawing a decent salary Rodney decides not to hurry to London. But finally, influenced by Panty’s (Edwin Fernandes) arrival from London and sweet talks, the employed youth leaves for London, much against his wish and heart’s desire.
Will Clemy’s long-cherished dream be fulfilled? What are the effects of Rodney’s London trip? How does the stranger deal with the Goan family? What prompts Clemy to withdraw her decision and step back?
Anthony Carvalho is relaxed in his fatherly role, while Irene Cardozo looks comfortable and expressive in her emotions. Shivanand Naik doles out a fine performance as the serious lad. So is Tukaram Naik as the agent. Jocelyn makes a cool appearance, while Selza Lopes as the English lady is impressive in her dialogue delivery. Christopher Menezes and Maria Cardozo form a perfect comical duo on stage. Edwin Fernandes and Assis Cardozo are supportive in their respective characters.
In the songs, solos by Queeny Fernandes, Violet D’Souza and Maria Cardozo, duets by Maria Cardozo and Joao Cardozo, Queeny Fernandes and Akash Telegu, trio by Jocelyn, Edwin and Tomazinho and a quartet by Luis, Violet, Dulcin and Lynne were entertaining.
Stage sets by Timothy Dias, music by Nolvert and his team, besides light effects by Rohan Morajkar and background music by Joy Fernandes deserve a mention.
