Star of Strait Street
Description:
It was a fascinating surprise when Giuseppe Schembri Bonaci [Artistic Director, Strada Stretta Concept] received a request for a production on the 'Morning Star', a legendary Diju Balli concert/cabaret Hall. This surprise became more intriguing when Schembri Bonaci started to read the draft text of this beautiful work. Philip Glassborow was much more astonished when he was informed that GSB's family is in fact the 'Morning Star' family. GSB was reading a text so closely related to his own family.
The Strada Stretta Concept, under the auspices of the Valletta 2018 Foundation, thus presents, 'Star of Strait Street'. The event is being held in collaboration with the Mackintosh Foundation.
