Drama centre to stage play in Latvia

A group of actors from the Malta Drama Centre are rehearsing a community theatre play called Gunita's Story, which will be presented in Latvia next month as part of an ongoing EU project on domestic violence in that country.

The first part of the project focused on the collection of data by Maltese actors in Latvia and on improvisations on the theme of spousal abuse, engaging both Maltese participants and actors from the Akniste Theatre Company in the host country.

Gunita's Story which will be performed in Maltese, English and Latvian will be directed for the Malta Drama Centre by Chris Grech.

Also next month, and as part of the ongoing Grundtvig programme, a group of Austrian actors will visit the Malta Drama Centre to perform Identities, a community drama piece that will mirror Maltese social realities as perceived by a troupe of theatre-makers from Vienna.
