Eka Lagnachi Goshta delights audiences

 

The play derives its plot from the pre-nuptial and post-nuptial episodes that take place in the life of a couple. Typically these episodes revolve around emotions that range from jealousy to compromise that the couple makes in order to live happily. This show has started the onset of professional Marathi plays in New Zealand.

 

Prashant Damle and Kavita Lad played the lead characters in the play. The two narrators in the play played by Bipin Chavan and Pinaki Naik,kept the audience's attention glued to the circumstances the couple are found in. The other supporting actors were Vijay Parulkar, Jayashree Sonar, Binita Redey, Sunil Joshi, Vishal Patil, Manisha Kolhe and Pushkar Kulkarni.

 

It is certainly characters that derive this play. Each actor gave a strong performance that has us both sympathizing with and criticizing their characters, while never missing an opportunity for comedy. In particular, Prashant Damle, Kavita Lad , Binita Redey, Sunil Joshi and Vijay Parulkar demonstrated excellent comic timing – with Vijay Parulkar able to make the most straight-laced character of "Boss" into the comic role that blew the audience away. 

 

Prashant Damle said that Auckland audience was one of the best and praised the back stage team, also words of praise for Santanu Ghosh for his amazing sets.

 

The two hit programmes hosted by Auckland Marathi Association would not have been successful without the help from all our major sponsors and extreme hard work and dedication from all the AMAI Executive Committee members. 

 

Auckland Marathi Association is gearing up for another programme which is going to be unique in its own stride, a musical journey “Ragas to Rock” to be staged on 3rd May at Green Bay School auditorium. This event is free for all the AMAI members.
