This paper traces the developments in ltalo-Maltese theatre during the past three hundred years and shows its major milestones, personalities and works. The cultural and social backgrounds in which these changes took place are linked to the texts of the works under study along with their effect on political and artistic changes that took place from the arrival of the Order of St John up to the phenomenon of translation of the twentieth century. It is aimed at showing the links between Italo-Maltese theatre and the birth of proper Maltese theatre and how the two currents are entwined in the complex history of theatre culture in Malta. ; peer-reviewed
