Malta's theatre landscape has reached an extraordinary milestone with Jamie Cardona's solo performance, Mid-Djarju ta' Student fi Skola tal-Knisja, now officially recognised as the longest-running theatrical production in Maltese history. Since its debut in April, the show has captivated audiences across the nation, achieving sold-out status at each performance. With newly-scheduled dates in January, this unprecedented success will bring the total count to an impressive 53 performances, setting a new benchmark in Maltese theatre.

Malta Records will honour this historic accomplishment by presenting Cardona with an official certification during the January performances, marking Mid-Djarju ta' Student fi Skola tal-Knisja's impact on local theatre and its ability to draw thousands to the stage. Each show has resonated deeply, presenting a relatable and humorous insight into Maltese adolescence and drawing a vibrant response from audiences of all ages. The show's popularity signals a growing appreciation for locally-produced theatre and highlights the potential of Maltese productions to form meaningful connections with their audiences.

As demand continues, the production team has pledged to extend the show's run as long as tickets continue to sell out, positioning Mid-Djarju ta' Student fi Skola tal-Knisja as a historic cornerstone in Maltese cultural history.

In this one-man show, Cardona portrays himself and several other characters, sharing his humorous and heartfelt journey as a teenager in a Maltese Church school. Using his diary as a guide, audiences witness his experiences as he navigates existential questions, moral dilemmas, adolescent insecurities and humorous pursuits.

Directed by Vikesh Godhwani and penned by Jamie himself, this comedy uniquely captures the insecurities of young Maltese people and the universal, often awkward process of self-discovery.
