Playwright John D’ Silva, will stage his new tiatr‘Ranvotti’ in Doha-Qatar on November 16. The show is organised by the GoanWelfare Association as a part of Goa Day celebrations in Qatar. The story ofRanvotti revolves around a youth who at the age of seven was lost in the jungleand was brought up by a man from the jungle. After spending 14 years in thejungle, the youth comes to the city only to be lost in its bad vices. Hisjungle life was free of bad vices, but when he lands in the city, circumstancesaround transform him into a wild man.
The central theme of the tiatr highlights that sex, crime,rape; prostitution and corruption have become part of city life. The dramacomes to an end with a powerful message to the audience to know the truereality of life in the city.
The script by John D’Silva is thought provoking; withmeaningful dialogues and it has a variety of songs like trio, duet, choralsong, decent solos and comedy solos with clean and decent comedy.
D’Silva, has been well known for his tiatr scripts with highliterary value interlaced with a standard prose, is the only playwright of theKonkani stage who has etched his name in the Limca Book of World Records for merelyscripting, directing and producing 25 Konkani tiatrs with their titles having adouble alphabet in it. The present tiatr ‘Ranvotti’ once again with a double‘t’ in its title further adds to the long list of tiatr titles with double alphabets.Perhaps, intentionally or unintentionally
John is looking to surpass his own previously set record!
