SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Omar Al Gurg: Everyman’s Mountain
DESCRIPTION:The Emirati artist and designer’s inaugural solo exhibition comprises a series of photographs that documents the striking ecological diversity of Mount Kilimanjaro. Captured through Al Gurg’s attentive and empathetic gaze during a six-day journey in 2021\, this work offers “a nuanced exploration of the mountain as a living\, evolving ecosystem shaped by natural forces and human presence … His images reveal the mountain’s layered habitats\, from mist-laden forests and regenerating moorlands affected by recent fires to the fragile ice caps near the summit … At the heart of Everyman’s Mountain lies a meditation on scale and significance”.

SUMMARY:Every Brilliant Thing
DESCRIPTION:A very welcome return for this single-hander play that has already been a smash hit at the Junction four times in the last three years. It’s not hard to see why: written by the English playwright/director Duncan Macmillan with actor/writer/comedian Johnny Donahoe\, it manages to be both intimate and interactive\, a touching\, funny\, and uplifting play that chronicles life’s small joys and reveals the lengths to which we will go for those we love. \nAs his mother battles chronic depression\, a child creates a list of every thing they can think of that makes life worth living. As the child grows\, so does the list. Looking back on a life of ups and downs\, the man takes the audience on an inspiring journey that celebrates finding joy in the mundane and being grateful for the simple pleasures hiding all around us. \nThe Guardian called the original Edinburgh Festival production “one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see about depression – and possibly one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see\, full stop”. The Junction’s main man Gautam Goenka directs and performs. Highly recommended. \nThere are further performances on 13 and 14 September. \n

SUMMARY:Game. Set. Match.
DESCRIPTION:The Playhouse Studio Theatre at New Covent Garden (located in a much-revamped Mall of the Emirates space that now includes a fully-equipped 575-seater theatre plus dance and rehearsal studios and a new restaurant) opens with this new Tall Tales / Cross Bronx Studio production.. \nIt has been adapted from the 2016 Italian film Perfect Strangers\, itself a critical and commercial success that has resonated with audiences around the world and generated a number of remakes and reworkings; for this production\, writer Sid Abbas has switched the locale to Dubai’s tennis scene. Set in a luxury tennis club suite\, the play follows seven long-time friends reunited for a destination wedding; but a seemingly innocent game of sharing phone messages and calls turns into digital Russian roulette. Secrets\, affairs\, emotional confessions\, and some truly terrible texting etiquette emerge … We’re promised fast-paced dialogue\, laugh-out-loud moments\, and gut-punch emotional turns: “if you’ve ever been in a relationship\, had a group chat\, or made a mistake you hoped your partner would never see — this play is for you”. \nSatya Baskaran directs. \nThe play run 12 to 14 September at 7.30pm\, with a 3pm matinée on 13 September.
