A talented son of Goem
Comment: Peter D'Costa aka Prem Kumar has delighted and entertained thousands of Goemcars over the years. His illustrious career has been marked by outstanding contributions to the Concannim stage. Pedro Costa should now revert back to his baptismal name as he is far more admired and loved by the Goemcar populace than the wider Indian audience.

Anthony D’Sa, a celebrated character actor of yesteryears, giving him the break in his first tiatr ‘Mhojo Put.’ Pleased with Prem's excellent performance, D'Sa is learnt to have said, "This boy has the capacity to take the tiatr stage to a high standard." True enough, this theatre enthusiast gave a totally new direction to the rustic tiatr, excelled as he did in script writing, direction and acting.
