So...just came home from watching the comedy. We went to see it a Winston Churchill Hall in Ruislip, Middlesex.
Although the whole play was in Gujarati, I think I managed to understand most of it - yes me, with my bad language skills! The play was about a man whose wife died many years ago and he was left to bring up his two young children.
The children have grown up now and when we first meet them they are being very lazy and bossing their dad around...the dad has to do everything in the house - even the cooking.
Now the children want to have some money so that they can go to camp with their friends - or more specifically with their girl/boy friends..but obviously they don't tell their father this...anyway the dad tells them no because its a lot of money, they will have to earn it.
While they are talking, their new next door neighbour enters. The dad and the neighbour talk about how hard the dad's life is and the neighbour decides the best way to solve his problems is to remarry - and he thinks that he's the man for the job.
The dad gets happy - but when his children come home they are not too happy - until their dad gives them money for camp!
When the kids leave the neighbour comes and tells the dad that he has found him and suitor - the woman comes to visit him and although she is crazy he decides to marry her.
Within 2 days they are married.. and the kids return to this suprise...then the rest of the story revolves mostly around the man trying to get closer to his new wife.
The man gets kidnapped one day in a case of mistaken identity and when he returns he sees how much his new wife cares for him and his children accept their step-mom and she becomes part of the family.
Well b/c i'm tired I have just outlined the story here - but what I find hard to write down is the many funny incidents and lines that make the comedy what it is.
Umm...maybe i'll write a better account later - but for now - i'm off to bed - the digital clock on my pc says 0.00...
