Malta’s theatre has achieved a new milestone with Mid-Djarju ta’ Student fi Skola tal-Knisja, Jamie Cardona’s one-man show, now the longest-running production in Maltese history.
Since its April 2024 premiere, this candid and humorous portrayal of Maltese adolescence has sold out each performance, and with more dates scheduled for January 2025, it will reach a record-breaking 53 shows.
Malta Records will recognise this achievement by awarding an official record certification to Cardona during the January run.

In an unusual turn of events, Saudi Arabia’s Al-Jawf region recently witnessed a rare snowfall that transformed its desert landscape into a winter scene, captivating both residents and social media users worldwide.
This significant temperature drop brought snow-covered dunes, a remarkable sight for a region known for its hot, arid climate.
Images of camels against white dunes, along with traditional Saudi architecture dusted with snow, circulated widely online, sparking wonder and excitement among viewers.
The snowfall drew locals and tourists who took the chance to enjoy snowball fights and build snowmen in this fleeting winter setting. For many, it was a first-time experience seeing snow in their homeland.
The event not only inspired joy but also raised questions about shifting weather patterns and climate change. The Saudi National Centre of Meteorology attributed the snowfall to a low-pressure system from the Arabian Sea, which mixed moist and hot desert air, creating conditions for rain, hail, and snow.
Meteorologists and climate scientists noted this rare occurrence as part of broader, unpredictable shifts in global weather. For many, it serves as a reminder of the evolving climate patterns, highlighting the need for deeper understanding and discussion on environmental sustainability.
