maltatoday | SUNDAY • 5 DECEMBER 2021 8 ALMANAC My essentials ADRIAN BUCKLE 50, Unifaun director, Drama Teacher What can I say? I love theatre and I love spending time with my family, who fortunately also love theatre. I founded Unifaun Theatre Productions in 2005 to concentrate on Theatre I believe in but never really found the courage to take the plunge and do some directing. I was only in 2019, after Unifaun closed its doors that I became brave enough to try it out. Luckily MADC believed in me, and I am directing Black Mountain for them, being performed this weekend and next. 1 2 4 5 1. Newspaper/Podcast 3 2. Film/TV 3. Internet 4. Music 5. Place AT the moment I am watch- ing The Wheel of Time. It is an adaptation of a series of books by Robert Jordan. The series is very well written and devised and the closest thing you'll ever find next to Tolkien. MY favourite person on the internet is my own daughter Ann-Marie Buckle. Let me explain. She is an autistic girl and has been diagnosed with autism since the age of two. But instead of allowing this to become a handicap she takes to facebook, twitter and instagram to celebrate her autism and to fight for the rights of people on the spectrum. She has become quite the activist despite her condition and the fact that she is still twenty-three. The blog she writes are insightful and intelligent. PETER Gabriel. I think his music is unique and ahead of its time. MY favourite holiday desti- nation is Edinburgh, mainly for the festival. I can never go there enough. Also, Scotland is a country of unique beau- ty so to combine theatre and foreign travel is a unique ex- perience. Plus, I get to go to my favourite restaurant, The Tasty Noodle. A book I read every year is The Brothers Lionheart. It is actually a children's story, but it deals with adult themes. It is beautifully written and cer- tain chapters drove me close to tears.
