'Surgery' and 'Tréteau' at The Emirates Litfest 2015

If you haven't been able to catch our plays at the 2015 Short+Sweet festival, you have a chance to catch two of them at The Emirates Litfest's 'A Short+Sweet Showcase' this weekend.

After a roller coaster Gala Final weekend, we've barely had a breather before we're up and running once again on Friday at 6:00 p.m. at the Al Baraha 1 Ballroom of the InterContinental Hotel, Dubai Festival City as part of The Emirates Litfest.

Third Half Theatre's 'Surgery' and 'Tréteau' will feature along with four other handpicked plays from the recently concluded Short+Sweet Festival. A full list of plays being showcased can be viewed here.

Tickets are available online and at the venue.





















Third Half Theatre presents..

Surgery
Based on the short story by Anton Chekhov
Hindi adaptation by Sunil Jasuja
Dialect consultants: Ruqya Khan, Kalyan Chakravarthy
Directed by Disha Joseph
Cast: Kalyan Chakravarthy, Sunil Jasuja

A priest visits the dentist of a small town in India with a toothache but finds himself trapped in the hands of an amateur subordinate… from hell.

Tréteau
Written & Directed by Sanjeev Dixit
Cast: Shereen Saif, Minali Patel, Ushma Shah Jasuja, Cmith Sarkar, Dharam Veer Sood, Siddarth Sivaprakash, Sunil Jasuja

I don’t know how to describe this play; some alternate titles were: ‘It’s All Been Done Before Too’ and ‘Think Inside The Box’. I suppose in many ways it’s a distillation of my love—our love—for the theatre.
