The 7 Sins

We’re always happy to promote local talent, and this series of playlets is written by three Dubai-based playwrights (Dee Gee, Edwige Narbey, Alex Broun) Dee Gee directs; they are set in Dubai on New Year’s fireworks time, and the show features cast and crew drawn from 11 different nationalities – which is about as Dubai as you could get. The sins aren’t explicitly deadly, but we are getting a modern take on them – with the emphasis on social media. The underlying idea is that vices like these can evolve with time; “as an audience, we will experience the sins in today’s world and how our daily lives invite us to sin, perhaps not always in our control …” Should be a good evening (and there are two more to follow, on 7 and 8 September).
