THEATRE MAY 20-22 Marti Martek Martek Marti Stagun Teatru Malti's next production at the Manoel Theatre, Marti Martek, Martek Marti by Malcolm Galea (of Porn, The Musical fame) is a satirical theatrical romp that tackles the question without falling into the trap of needing to moralize the outcome. There are no hidden messages here, no deep intellectual exercises. Instead the production promises tongue in cheek naughty naughtiness. The characters are quintessentially Maltese, middle class, and 'liberated', jostling through hilarious, totally irreverent situations. Friday and Saturday performances start at 20:00. There are two performances on each Sunday, at 15:00 and 19:00. Prices for the first weekend are €10, €15 and €20 and €15, €20 and €25 for the second weekend. Tickets from www.teatrumanoel.com.mt, bookings@teatrumanoel.com.mt or 2124 6389.
