For several years his plays have featured in Maltese Literature national curricula in high schools and University courses.[2] Two of his plays, Pawlu Redux and Il-Festa bil-Bandieri, won the Malta National Book Award for drama.[3] In 2011, a review in the Times of Malta called Calleja a "neglected Maltese playwright".[4] Following in the tradition of Maltese playwright Francis Ebejer, Calleja's works depicted characters who were aspiring to a greater life but who inevitably faced insurmountable social and psychological hurdles.
