With the release of Shaun’s third book in three months, Shaun appeared at The Capital Theatre as part of The Wheeler Center’s Spring Fling.
The night became a-somewhat Mad As Hell reunion combined with a mock tribute for the not-so-departed-Shaun, and featured:
- Sammy J recounting the influence The Micallef P(r)ogram(me) had on him, how it encouraged him to do work experience with Ted Emery (the show’s director) but only briefly saw Shaun, who mistook him for Ted’s son.
- Stephen Hall reading a eulogy for Shaun, only later being made aware that Shaun was not actually dead.
- Mark Humphries speaking about Micallef Tonight, and how wonderfully wrong it was to enjoy.
- Veronica Milsom holding a “quiz” about Shaun with two audience participants
- Shaun and Emily Taheny reading a chapter from “Slivers, Shards and Skerricks”
- Christie Wheelan-Browne speaking of Shaun’s supportive nature and singing Xanadu (which she described as a purposeful ill-fitting choice)
It was brilliant to see how many others spoke of Shaun as fans, and Shaun seemed almost taken aback by it all. A great night and now a new book to read!
