Playwrights slammed for poor, outdated works

Malta Independent, 10 August 2003, Malta

None of the playwrights who submitted their works for Malta's 2003 Premju Francis Ebejer contest, held by the Arts Council, were considered worthy of the first prize. The jury slammed all the 12 plays submitted but one, describing them as outdated, retrograde, poor, clichéd, pretentious and mediocre.
