Josanne Cassar | Simon Bartolo’s new play at St James Cavalier

His first play after last year’s smash hit Jiena Nħobb, Inti Tħobb Simon Bartolo’s explosive new script is the story of an extraordinary boy with a brilliant mind, a heart of gold, and a tortured soul.

When Albert Chetcuti goes to a local theatre, he thinks he is up for a night of entertainment and fun. Little does he expect a life-shattering experience that will turn his whole existence upside down and make him question everything … From who he is to what he is doing there.

Both funny and poignant, Tikber u Tinsa is the unforgettable journey of a man who moves not in space but time, in search of a memory lost and not wanting to be found, of good times and difficult ones. But most of all, it is about a son who never really understood his place in the big plan of life that he designed for himself.

Directed by Roderick Vassallo and featuring Clive Piscopo. fifteen-year-old Jamie Cardona, and Alison Abela, this new play is a beautiful yet unsparing depiction of what it means to be a human in search of redemption and healing.

“Simon has written a brilliant, brilliant script,” comments Clive Piscopo, producer and actor. “And together with Roderick’s vision, Tikber u Tinsa is going to be one hell of a roller-coaster ride … for both audience and actors alike.”

Tikber u Tinsa will premiere on Thursday 22 October at St James Cavalier and run for one weekend only. Performance dates include 22, 23, 24 and 25th October. Tickets can be obtained from www.kreattivita.org

The play is in Maltese and is suitable for audiences 14+
