Rehearsing for Politira.Rehearsing for Politira.

Mediteatru is putting up its second production, Politira, an original, fast-paced political satire in Maltese penned and directed by Keith Borg.

The country is in election mode and the candidates are campaigning in full swing. Shawn Balzan is a popular politician, but his chances of being re-elected are dented by a compromising video clip about him.

Will he manage to conceal the matter from the press and his political adversaries?

However, this is not the only knot which will be unravelled during the play. Agnes Borg, the leader of the Social Liberal Party, is the first female Prime Minister of Malta. Serious doubts have been cast on her ability to lead the party to victory again.

This is especially in the light of the momentum gained by the Conservative Party since Michel Decelis was elected party leader.

Who is interested in shattering Dr Balzan’s political career? Complex relationships and compromises develop, giving rise to several comic situations.

Taking part are established actors, including Moira Muscat, Carlos Farrugia, Mariano Said and Aldo Zammit and comprises up-and-coming actors Kurt Pawley, Kelly Peplow and Lara Borg Vella.

Politira runs at Splendid, Valletta, at 7pm on Friday, Saturday and next Sunday and on October 25.  Tickets start from €12 and are available online.
