Unifaun's production of Howard Brenton's wonderfully contentious drama Paul goes into its third weekend at the theatre-in-the-round at St James this weekend, tonight, tomorrow and Sunday, each night at 8 p.m. And if you thought Unifaun's Some Explicit Polaroid's was steamy, this one will blow the top of your head off.
Paul is bound to challenge a few accepted Christian principles and "truths" and for those whose faith is wavering, this may be way too strong. But happily these days most Maltese audiences are much more mature and able to disseminate fact from speculation.
But there is no denying that this is strong stuff and requires an audience that can treat it on its merits.
It certainly has an A list cast: The eponymous Paul is played by Manuel Cauchi, Peter by Kevin Drake, Jeshua by Paul Portelli and Mary Magdalene by Maria Buckle. If you read The Da Vinci Code and were appalled, then it would be better to give Paul a miss. But if you are looking for challenging, intelligent theatre then you could do worse than catch this one.
This is your last chance to do just that.
