Tréteau

And after a rather eventful festival we present our last play for Short+Sweet Dubai, 'Tréteau'.

'Tréteau' is a play that is difficult to talk about without getting into long winded explanations. It's therefore best to simply present it and let you decide what it is. Do hope you enjoy it as much as we've enjoyed putting it together.

It happens on Friday 20th and Saturday 21st of February 7:30 p.m. as part of Top 30 Week-3 at Kilachand Theatre, Ductac, MOE.

Tickets at the box office and online at the Ductac Store.

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.

Mandragora

Also happening this weekend as part of Wild Cards week-2 of Short+Sweet is 'Mandragora', a dream like play about a man recovering from an accident and struggling with his memories.

It's being staged only the one time at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday the 14th at Ductac, MOE so make sure you catch it.

Tickets on the online store and at the box office.

Nick, a New York City firefighter, is expecting an All-American girl for a blind date but finds himself in for a surprise.

Surgery

Our first play for Dubai's Short+Sweet festival this year is an adaptation of a Chekhov short story.

In Surgery, Chekhov takes a simple pastoral setting and places in it two very unlikely protagonists: A priest and a dentist. The play is also in part gleaned from Neil Simon's collection of Chekhov's short stories for the stage in The Good Doctor.

Part of Wildcards week 1, it's on at the Kilachand theatre, Ductac, Mall of the Emirates on Saturday the 7th of February, 2015 at 2:30 p.m.

The festival will run from the 6th to the 28th of February and will feature almost 70 plays. Tickets are available on Ductac's online store and at the venue.

See you there!
