Navi Mumbai, 07 Jun 2017: Konkani Cultural Association of Navi Mumbai (KONCANA Association) hosted hilarious Konkani comedy play, Limbe ani Mirsang, by playwright and directed by John R Mascarenhas, a well known personality in Konkani literary world, at Vishnudas Bhave Auditorium, Vashi, here, on Friday, June 2 at 8.30pm.

 

The enthralling performance by the members of the Konkan Taram from Jerimeri, Andheri (East) enthralled the audience for two-and--hours. Though it was a working day for many and though many of the families are yet to return from their summer vacation, the auditorium was almost packed to its capacity. The crowd was so responsive that every scene was applauded by the audience and one could witness the resounding peals of laughter from the audience.

 

This was the second show of the play ‘LimbeAniMirsang’, the 1st being in Jerimeri, Andheri (East) on Jan 8, 2017. John R Mascarehas was at the peak of his performance with regard to direction of the play and his enacting three roles in the drama showed that he is very much versatile in any character that he played, particularly his acting as the ‘blind man’ was superb. Though the acting of other members of the group was commendable and every one made justice to the role each one played, the performance Gracy Toras, the lead lady character ‘Sherpin’ was standing out. The couple dance performance by Joyson and Sheryl was outstanding and the performance of baby Melita mesmerized the audience, though the same was just one scene.

 

 

Overall, the play was excellent and value for money. The strong message that came out of the play is that Superstition is cause of peril of many families and one should not be superstitious, in any event that one come across in life.

 

The organizing Committee members: Richard D’Souza, Wilma Pereira, Lancy Pinto, Felix Fernandes, Joseph Patrao and others organized felicitation programme during the show and KONCANA Association members honored Fr Moses from Nerul, Fr Louis from Kharghar and John Mascarenhas during the show.
