| Radju Lauretana’s first Radio Play |
| Friday 16th May 2008 |
Preparations are in full swing for the upcoming Festa Schedule. In the coming weeks the schedule will be available on this website for all to see. Currently, the recording of a radio play is taking place at PRO Studios in Sannat. The title of this ambitious project is entitled Għajnsielem u l-Poplu Tieghu, an excellent documentary play penned by famous script writer Lino Grech based on Joe Scicluna’s thesis Għajnsielem: A Study of a Village. This play was staged way back in January 2000 and was well-welcomed by all those who had the opportunity of watching the show. Now this historical play is being recorded to be aired on Radju Lauretana in August. The task is not easy, especially when considering the length of the three-act play, the participation of over 40 people and the editing process. However a great deal of enthusiasm is making the job easier.
All are looking forward towards a good production which looks at the history of our village intertwined with that of our parish. The radio play answers several questions, including, What is the origin of the name Ghajnsielem? How did it evolve over the years? What about the setting of Ghajnsielem Parish? Who were the pioneers? What was the spirit behind all happenings?
The effort being done promises a high level production. The radio play is dedicated to the late Joe Scicluna, a qalbieni who loved his town home dearly. If he were still alive he would have surely been part of Radju Lauretana’s crew. To his memory we dedicate this radio play. |
