“Well done! The best play I have been to in a long while, really engaging and brought home a very strong message. Worth rerunning for the people who didn’t manage to get tickets.”
Nadya German
“Well done. Thoroughly enjoyed it. A very sad message indeed — we’re more interested in scrolling and sharing than reading!”
Samantha Bonnici
“A very thought-provoking play! Kept thinking about it long after the performance was over!! Well done to the production team and cast!”
Sharon Craig
“It was an excellent play! I hope they manage to run it again so that more people can experience it.”
Giselle Borg Olivier
“I had the great opportunity of watching this play so well scripted by Herman Grech. A reality check of what our lives have become and the world we live in. I loved the interaction with the audience. Kudos to all cast & crew.”
Vanessa Aquilina
“Yesterday I watched the play Press Mute. It stayed with me longer than I expected. It made me think about how much noise we live with now — social media, constant headlines, opinions flying around every second. Everyone has a platform. Everyone has a take. And somehow the loudest voice often wins, not the most accurate one. I caught myself thinking how easy it is to react before thinking — to read something, feel something, and move on without questioning it properly. Fake news doesn’t even need to be convincing anymore; it just needs to be repeated enough. What worries me isn’t only misinformation. It’s how normal it has become to accept half-truths because they fit what we already believe. The play made me reflect on something simple: when was the last time I paused before forming an opinion? When was the last time I chose not to engage? Maybe pressing mute isn’t about disconnecting. Maybe it’s about choosing clarity over noise. Do you feel social media has made us more informed… or just more reactive?”
Mauro Miceli
“Saw it last week. Really enjoyed it. Reinforced how crucial critical thinking is, and that questioning sources and fact-checking remain fundamental to remaining informed about what’s real and what’s manipulated or engineered to influence.”
Jonathan Chilton
“Fantastic actors, an incredibly relevant script, and 80 minutes of reflection, tension and humour going into the heart of the media.”
Chris Borg
“This should be staged in schools.”
Ivan Abela
“A massive congrats to you for yesterday and the cast — a chillingly insightful mirror to what today we face, hinting at the eventual extinction of journalism as we know it if measured actions aren’t taken.”
Martina
“Wow. That really hit hard in the balls. Sadly, it is so true. I’m glad you had the courage to say it so clearly and in such a powerful, eye-opening way. Maybe people will realise today’s reality.”
Daniel Cilia
“Was left with so much thinking after the show.”
Ian Vassallo
“This was very thought-provoking.”
Charles Azzopardi
“The setting was perfect with the audience engagement. This was very powerful. When Emma made her case about the meaning of journalism — I was welling with tears.”
Elizabeth Abela
“Very on topic and compelling! There’s so much there, it almost requires a sequel!”
Paul Waltzing
