Spazju Kreattiv Commission has teamed up with Take Two and Arts Council Malta to produce and showcase a polished interpretation of the novel by the Maltese author and lecturer, Clare Azzopardi. Written by Carlos Debattista and directed by Abigail Mallia, Castillo follows Amanda, as she reunites with her estranged mother for the first time in 25 years, following her father’s recent passing. Her mother, Emma, fled away from her responsibilities as a mother and a wife after her sister Catherine tragically passed away in a bomb blast. Emma is obsessively interested in the death of her sister, reeling in her daughter in her own obsession. To make matters worse, Emma discloses her heinous double murder to her daughter, automatically making Amanda an unwilling accomplice.

This ingenious story reflects upon the Maltese society and the recent political turmoil through a set of different timelines and Amanda’s personal story. Running from the 11 of February to next Sunday 20 February 2022, Castillo is already receiving incredible praise for the writing of the story and the whole team behind this thrilling play. For those who can’t make it to the live event can purchase a Video on Demand, and watch it at the comfort of their own home.
