A Note from The Minister of Culture, Dr. Owen Bonnici about 1881

“I firmly believe that 1881 reaches a level of professionalism, creativity and artistic genius that is truly outstanding and astounding.  Teatru Malta has done so much over the years to improve and bolster the theatre scene in Malta and 1881 is – without any shadow of doubt – the best project Teatru Malta has ever made.  I am sure that this project will be a game-changer not only for Teatru Malta (as it attracted diverse audiences and I am sure people who never before attended to any Teatru Malta event), but also for the theatre scene as a whole here in Malta as it pushes boundaries in a way which is very innovative and refreshing. I absolutely loved the flexibility with which the audience feels part of the whole experience and the interaction with the actors, who were brilliant and extraordinary.

Truly, a magnificent piece of work.”
