The play is set in Portuguese Goa and explores the themes of the recognition of the value of work is upheld by individuals from all socioeconomic backgrounds, including both the affluent and the less privileged, as well as the romantic relationship between Leopold, a wealthy Catholic man, and Carolina, a poor rural woman.

Leopold is a wealthy young man who owns land and subscribes to the principle of self-sufficiency through personal labor rather than relying on the output of others' work.

In contrast, for Fillip, the laborer, views hard work as a vital component for his existence, surpassing mere preference to become a fundamental necessity for his sustenance.

Carolina embodies a modest lifestyle rooted in rural surroundings, emphasizing a devotion to her spiritual beliefs in a higher deity, she is the daughter of Fillip.

Leopold's mother, Anjela, challenges him to choose between staying in the family's ancestral mansion or leaving it to live with his wife, Carolina, in her thatched hut.

Despite the social status disparity, Leopold makes the choice to depart from the ancestral mansion and opt to live with his wife, Carolina, demonstrating his commitment to her by rejecting any notion of forsaking her.

Leopold challenges his mother's aristocratic views by asserting the principle of human equality as ordained by God, highlighting the role of circumstances and opportunities in shaping one's socioeconomic status.

Leopold provides evidence for his assertion by pointing to the success stories of individuals like Henry Ford, Andrew Carnegie, and John D. Rockefeller, who rose to fame and fortune from common origins, as well as the trajectories of figures such as Salazar, Mussolini, Hitler, and Chamberlain, who attained positions of power and influence despite their modest beginnings.

He presents a strong argument against the notion that class disparities should serve as a hindrance to marital unions, emphasizing a more egalitarian perspective on relationships.

She takes drastic measures by attempting to evict both Leopold and Carolina, and even goes as far as threatening to force Fillip out of his home, leaving the couple without a place to live.

During this initial staging, the playwright Fernandes utilized the term "theatro" in the advertising for the play, which helped to popularize the word among the local population.

This second performance was organized to support the Society of Nossa Senhora de Piedade in Dabul, with the objective of collecting funds to aid the local indigent population.

In response to the devastation, the Goa Flood Relief Fund Committee organized a fundraising event by staging a performance of the play Vauraddi on 16 February 1941, at the St. Xavier's College Hall in Bombay.
