And here we are, our final play for this year’s Short+SweetDubai theatre festival.
It’s been perhaps the most fun (and stress) we’ve ever had
at rehearsals. Needless to say, given the size of the team, each rehearsal was
a mini carnival. We’ve had an absolute blast putting this together and can’t
wait to see how it comes across on stage.
When the thought of putting up an original musical, that too
in ten minutes, crossed my mind, I initially dismissed it outright. But the
thought wouldn’t go away. And after a month of some serious scrambling to get this on the road, the result awaits you at The Junction this weekend.
A big thanks to the team whose commitment and belief has
kept the play alive through the nail biting last weeks leading up to the
premiere. Cast changes, cast backing out due to sickness, fervent script
edits to keep it in the time limit, and a million other hurdles were
surmounted by a room full of people with simply amazing creative energy.
Part of Top 40 Week 4, it's on at the The Junction, Al
Serkal Avenue on Friday the 19th and Saturday the 20th of
February, 2016 at 7:30 p.m.
