The wife in the play elopes with her ex-lover, lured by the glitter of money, gold and fanciful possessions. Rosario uses it imaginatively as a ploy to demonstrate the devastating effects of betrayal and separation in a small family, which would have been happy otherwise, blessed as it was with a small child. The story flows naturally at an electrifying pace. It's gripping and touches the soft, emotional chord right till the end. It attempts to demonstrate that separation in married life, though inevitable at times, can scarcely be a solution to marital hassles.
Separation only brings about devastating pain and suffering to either party.
The enterprising cast of professional artists also do full justice to their respective roles and enliven the overall performance. Meena Leitao, Irene Vaz, Sylvester Vaz, Maxcy Pereira, John, and Maggie emote well, giving the audience their money's worth. Child artiste Celza, in particular, has to be singled out for praise. Tiny Celza steals the hearts by her superb performance, and the four cantos she renders are a real treat. Being an adept comedian himself, Rosario ensures that a strong comedy sequence runs like a fine foil to the serious story line.
