Reviews
“Gripping script and fantastic performances […] This is the kind of theatre Malta desperately needs.” – Herman Grech
“It’s wonderful to see a young director like André Agius make such a noteworthy debut under the company’s banner. Skylight is, by no means, a safe or easy choice for a first-time director” – Times of Malta (Full Review)
“Intimate, relevant, multilayered, economical […]. This is the sort of theatre work I hanker for. [..] A very satisfying attempt at bringing a very complex and difficult script to life. Keep it up André Agius.” – Mario Vella
“Intense and totally immersive theatre. The tension between the two main characters never dips. A definite must-watch.” – Ramona Depares
