We had a hoot last night at Love, Lust & Lynching at MITP (St Christopher Street, Valletta). The cast, directed by Wesley Ellul, didn't miss a beat. The delivery punchy, the management of the audience timely and the energy level of the whole cast, like a quality control meeting at a Red Bull factory. Even the prompts were enjoying themselves.
The play is about a Spanish village and its struggle against a tyrant - where's the humour you ask? Go see. But don't think you will just be rolling around laughing. They have you on your feet, at a lynching and a few members of the audience on the stage. Indeed, one last night, didn't want to leave!
But it's not just well done, there are actors who make you sit up and take notice of them; Jo Caruana's delivery in a certain scene made my eyes well - she was so passionate. And the gorgeous Julia Calvert and Jean-Pierre Busttil are a combo that should be paired up for a lead part. At one point in the play, Jean-Pierre was alone, on stage and in the dark, waiting to start, but he already had the audience laughing. And had us laughing all the way home.
