The Premju encourages new and established writers to share their works with a wide audience and offers a solid platform for the most promising scripts in Maltese. The award for best plays is not merely financial but also offers support for the winning scripts to be put up on stage and published.
Francis Ebejer (1925-1993) is remembered for his lively and avantgarde style of writing. This left a strong impact on his audiences and helped Maltese theatre to make a leap ahead. In the sixties and seventies, the writer experienced the tensions which Maltese society was going through. The sharp contrast between social norms and the waves of change which were also spreading through other countries seemed almost tangible. Ebejer’s writing did not shirk from reflecting this. It grappled with philosophical, psychological and social issues and explored the absurdities of life and human behaviour. He interwove his influences into plays which reflect the concerns and realities of his time.
