The Monster Bride, an original musical composed by Maltese composers Kris Spiteri and Boris Čezek, will be studied and performed at the Guildford School of Acting in the United Kingdom.

Written along with playwright Brendan Cull, The Monster Bride is based on Paul Magrs’ novel Never the Bride.

The two composers said that this is the first time in Malta’s history that a musical composed by Maltese composers is being studied and staged within a UK postgraduate conservatoire programme.

The Guildford School of Acting is one of the UK’s leading drama schools, whose alumni include Celia Imrie (of The Celebrity Traitors fame) and Chris Geere.

Mr Spiteri and Mr Čezek have previously collaborated on Porn the Musical, which won Best New Musical at the Off West End Theatre Awards in London and was named Critic’s Choice by Time Out London.

They said that interest in their new UK presentation has been overwhelming, with the event already completely sold out.
