Tiatr Nurse
NURSE by Augie D’mello (Britona Dramatic Academy, Penha de France)
was the 11^th entry in the ongoing 37^th Tiatr Competition organised by Kala Academy and supported by Tiatr Academy of Goa. Staged on 30^th Sept. 2011

Today’s tiatr opened at the hands of a member of the audience (one of the regulars) Mr. Rafael Pereira

Tiatr Nurse

Big hospital, Patients in beds, Doctors on duty, Nurses in uniform ?

No, nothing like that at all, not even a nurse in uniform seen on stage.

Nurse is not just a person who cares for the sick and disabled, the one who takes care of a young child is also a nurse.

Some parents may give their new born child for adoption or foster home, for whatever reasons as in this case a new born was given for fostering as the child was born handicapped (defected leg?).

There was more of Music and schools and colleges than nurses and hospitals

e.g. Music mestri (blowing instrument –Saxophone etc)

We have seen on stage Jose Antonio Memorial High School and then we saw Alfredo D’Mello Memorial College of Arts & commerce (see pics)

The tiatr also talked about the corruption by Police, fake currency notes etc.

Pedrina d’Mello, Johny D’Silva, Denzil d’Souza, Rodney D’Souza, Flocy Camilo, Felicity d’souza, Mathew Fernadnes etc were at their best in the main role. Some Shool kids also done well

Coming to the Cataram part, many says ‘cataram’ are too good.
It covered almost all the recent happenings that made headlines in the state be it Corruption, Anna Hazare, Mid Day meals, stray dogs and rabies, suicides, accidents etc.

Besides topics on neighours, unnecessary funeral expenditure, relationship, friendship, Portuguese passports, Euro-dollars, patriotism, Divorce, tenants etc

Almost all songs were too good with good music and lyrics

Band by Agnelo Dias ( Intro track added to a clip)

This tiatr was houseful 2 days before the show, Tickets mainly bought by the villagers including the actors themselves
