Go mobile is sponsoring the much-awaited Maltese production, Ir-Rewwixta tal-Qassisin, which is returning to the Manoel Theatre after 19 years since its first performance.

Go mobile is pleased to be one of the main sponsors of this cultural event. This support mirrors go mobile’s full appreciation of all successful contributions to Maltese drama and literature. As a Malta-based company, go mobile is well-known for being supportive of artistic efforts which add value to our Maltese culture.

Written by Alfred Buttigieg, Ir-Rewwixta tal-Qassisin was considered as the best original play by a Maltese playwright in the 1980s. Alfred Buttigieg has now revised his play and teamed up with director and producer, Michael Fenech, to adapt it to a didactic yet enjoyable musical for today’s times. Musical director and composer Manoel Pirotta will additionally interpret Alfred Buttigieg’s lines in a satirical, Brechtian manner. Considered a classic in Maltese literature, Ir-Rewwixta tal-Qassisin has also been included as a compulsory text in the Maltese Matsec syllabus.

The musical will be held at the Manoel Theatre today and tomorrow.
