1881 Teatru Malta Show Review

January 3, 2025 by Ramona Depares

1881, the show by Teatru Malta. Photos: Lindsey Bahia The 1881 Teatru Malta show, is not your regular theatre outing, so I won't be following my usual theatre review format, as this would reveal too many details. A huge part of the joy of this immersive theatre experience lies in the unexpected, the little surprises you uncover along the way. Instead, I will walk you … [Read more...] about 1881 Teatru Malta Show Review

Għanjiet il-Baħħ: a devastating romantic tragedy

October 21, 2024 by Ramona Depares

għanjiet-il-baħħ-blackout-songs

Jacob Piccinino and Simone Spiteri in Għanjiet il-Baħħ From the very moment the two actors erupt on stage, Għanjiet il-Baħħ transfixes the audience with a horrifyingly honest depiction of addiction and toxic relationships. I had never quite appreciated the saying 'like a car crash' until I found myself unable to gaze away from what the protagonists of this play were doing … [Read more...] about Għanjiet il-Baħħ: a devastating romantic tragedy

Il-Każin tal-Imqarbin: the Reġina of Queer Theatre

October 12, 2024 by Ramona Depares

Il-Każin tal-Imqarbin legit broke my heart - and then proceeded to mend it once again. Currently showing at the Valletta Campus, the musical production is an astonishingly impeccable follow-up to 2022's It-Teatru tal-Miskin. I say astonishingly, because Luke Saydon's first full musical production was as near-perfect as it could possibly be, and I'd have thought the chances of … [Read more...] about Il-Każin tal-Imqarbin: the Reġina of Queer Theatre

Pia Zammit and Joseph Zammit in Brad Birch's Peer Gynt. Photo: Christine Muscat Azzopardi. More than a straight-up theatre production, Brad Birch's Peer Gynt is an ambitious, multi-disciplinary performance combining movement, theatre and music. This is immediately evident from the first few seconds of the production, as the action opens with a gorgeously-choreographed … [Read more...] about Brad Birch’s Peer Gynt: Entrancing, despite cast disparities

The Great Dictator: An ambitious adaption

July 13, 2024 by Ramona Depares

The Great Dictator, adapted to Maltese theatre. Photo: Elisa von Brockdorff I’ll say it right out - 2024 is really shaping up to be Jamie Cardona’s year, and The Great Dictator has only served to confirm my conviction that this actor is going to do great things for Maltese theatre. If you’ll remember, I’ve literally just given Cardona a shiny, shiny review for Mid-Djarju … [Read more...] about The Great Dictator: An ambitious adaption
