6 TODAY Repubblika Immakulata Dù Theatre is back with a co-production with Spazju Kreattiv! A General elec- tion, a wedding and the lo- cal feast. On the same day. Within the same family. No one wants to give in. And whilst everyone tries to hold on tight to the tradi- tions that make us who we are, no one wants to accept that in Malta, we are no longer what we used to be.

Theatre APRIL 11 – 14 Lord of The Flies Teatru Manoel Youth Thea- tre is proud to present Lord of the Flies by Nobel Prize win- ner William Golding. The classic novel, a potent allegory about the loss of innocence and the decline of civilization, is brought to dramatic life in Nigel Williams' adaptation. A plane crashes on a deserted is- land. The only survivors are a group of young adults. By day, it's a tropical paradise of sun and sea; but each night, their dreams are inhabited by a ter- rifying beast. Recommended age group: 8+ APRIL 9 -14 Alla Mnezza The story-line is known by al- most everyone. A seemingly vir- tuous man became very popular in his time as some recounted that he performed miracles. He was deemed subversive and dangerous by the political/reli- gious elite and was condemned to death. He is reported to have said that he would conquer death. His words and deeds still resonate today. But DWAL ĠODDA theatre group tack- les the plot of this story from different perspectives in their yearly two-act production in combination with the tradi- tional Good Friday procession at Gharghur, which is held on Palm Sunday – this year, 14th April. DWAL ĠODDA will give two performances of " Alla Mneżża' " at Spazju Teatrali on Tuesday 9th and Wednesday 10th at 7.30pm. Entrance is free. On 14th April, Palm Sunday, a 'park and ride' shuttle system will be operating with the col- laboration of the Gharghur Lo- cal Council, from the area near the old Trade Fair grounds in Naxxar, to Gharghur and back, between 4.30pm and 10.30pm.
