Jack and the Beanstalk... the GIANT of all performances!


Tonight I had the pleasure of watching the Masquerade production of Jack and the Beanstalk at the Manoel Theatre in Valletta with my friend Steph and her family.
We sat in a box with a perfect view of the stage and (given the intimacy of the theatre) other members of the audience!
The quality of the show was superb: the costumes were stunning and plentiful, the songs were current and well known (so we could sing along if we wanted), the actors were professional and there was a sufficient amount of audience participation.
The cultural references were interesting to see and I learnt a couple of new Maltese words...
I can't wait for their production of Aladdin next year!

Notte Bianca -Lejl Imdawwal

Last night was Notte Bianca also known as Lejl Imdawwal (Lit Night).

See what the Times of Malta said about the event here.
Valletta is normally quite peaceful in the evenings and not many places are open, this all changed last night - there was an arts and culture packed programme which spread across the city attended by thousands of people and lasting all night.
