Envy… greed… inheritance… murder... These elements are at the core of the drama Meta Jintefa d-Dawl, and combined together, they reveal the dark side of human nature. This drama, set in England, portrays the anguish and rivalry among siblings brought about by inheritance.

This drama raises a lot of questions in the mind of the audience due to the tension that escalates when an innocent person is murdered in the presence of others. The commotion that is created between the siblings against a woman, who allegedly deprived them of their rightful inheritance, starts taking its toll as the drama unfolds. The butler also plays a part in this mystery. Once the inspector and his assistant arrive on scene, the suspense continues to build up and everyone is a suspect until the last few minutes.

The new theatrical group Curtain Call, under the direction of Ivan De Battista and assisted by Gilbert Formosa, are putting up this engaging production. It was written by Lino Grech.

Meta Jintefa d-Dawl will be performed in the Sir Temi Zammit Hall, University of Malta on Saturday and Sunday at 7.30pm. Another performance will be staged in Gozo, at the Astra Theatre on Saturday 16 June at 7.30pm.

The actors taking part are Gilbert Formosa, Marco Grech, Christine Borg, Dorian Micallef, Lydia Portelli, Stefanie Sacco, Kevin Spiteri and Aldo Zammit. Tickets can be bought from www.
