SUMMARY:Potted Potter
DESCRIPTION:The two final performances (at 2.30pm and 7.30pm) for this very silly\, very funny show: all seven Harry Potter books (and a game of Quidditch) condensed into 70 minutes\, with all the main Harry Potter characters\, endless costumes\, brilliant songs\, ridiculous props\, and a special appearance from a fire-breathing dragon … “Gloriously irreverent\,” said Time Out London; “inventive\, daft fun for all the family” said the Guardian.

SUMMARY:Hold the Mushrooms
DESCRIPTION:The dynamic of a close-knit family of three is altered when the daughter introduces her boyfriend into their world: the father doesn’t think the boy is good enough\, arguments and ruptures follow\, and all those involved have different perspectives … The play is about relationships\, value systems\, and prejudices – how we are unable to express ourselves and how pride won’t allow us to make up with our loved ones. Written by Binoy Mohan\, it’s directed by Dubai theatre veteran Rashmi Kotriwala. \nThere are shows today at 2.30 and 7.30pm\, and tomorrow at 2.30pm.

SUMMARY:Hady Boraey: Migrants to the North
DESCRIPTION:The second solo show at this gallery for the Egyptian artist\, featuring new works with themes of memory\, nostalgia\, and childhood. Inspired by ancient Egyptian and Coptic art\, Boraey heavily depends on metaphors\, “taking his audience on a dramatic journey filled with poetic nuances to coax them into new territory beyond their comfort zones” as the gallery puts it. \nThe artist himself says the inspiration came from his father’s library: “In my journey from childhood to maturity\, I was affected and dreamed a lot of another distant land to live in. There is nothing in it but a rock\, a horse\, a tree and a lake. A pure\, simple dream. Here\, in some of these paintings\, I tried to convey my childhood dream in paintings that carry many of the feelings of Hady the child\, whose life took him far from his home in the Delta. He still dreams of the legends of his grandmother’s old tales …” \nTo 5 April.

SUMMARY:Bombino
DESCRIPTION:Born in 1980 in a nomadic Tuareg encampment just outside Agadez in Niger\, Bombino (born Goumour Almoctar\, also known as Oumara Moctar) came of age during much political upheaval\, fleeing with his family to Algeria by 1990\, and teaching himself guitar by watching videos of Jimi Hendrix\, Dire Straits\, Ali Farka Toure and Tinariwen. His performances showcase evocative rhythms\, captivating vocals\, and awe-inspiring guitar playing that led the New York Times calling him “the Sultan of Shred”. The first-ever artist from Niger to receive a Grammy nomination (Best World Music Album in 2018)\, Bombino manages to fuse traditional Berber rhythms with stunning rock n roll and songs about peace in the Sahel. A rare chance to see a rare talent.

Highly recommended \nSaanya Abbas globally popular comedian with over half a million fans on her social platforms \nOmar Badawy winner of the ‘So You Think You’re Funny’ award at the Edinburgh Fringe
