SUMMARY:The Woman in Black
DESCRIPTION:Susan Hill’s elegantly eerie ghost story has been seen by more than seven million people in the stage adaptation by Stephen Mallatratt\, and very few will have been disappointed (or unshaken). A lawyer obsessed with a curse that he believes has been cast over him and his family engages a sceptical young actor to help him tell his terrifying story and exorcise the fear that grips his soul. It all begins innocently enough\, but as they reach further into his darkest memories\, the borders between make-believe and reality begin to blur as the Woman in Black reveals her terrible purpose … \nThere are further performances on 2 November at 2pm and 8pm.

SUMMARY:Blackadder Goes Forth
DESCRIPTION:A stage adaptation of the fourth (and best-scripted) of the BBC sitcom originally written by Richard Curtis and Ben Elton. Dubai Drama Group really can’t go wrong with this – a series of schemes by Captain Edmund Blackadder to escape the horrors of World War One\, aided and impeded by his dimwitted yet endearing sidekick Baldrick\, the bumbling but lovable George\, and his nemesis Captain Darling. Should be laughs a-plenty\, right up to the tragic twist in the tale at the end … James Mitchinson directs and plays Flash; Blackadder is Matthew T Corbett\, Baldrick is Sadiq Saboowala. \nThere are performances at 8pm on 8 and 9 November.

SUMMARY:Searching for Pierrot
DESCRIPTION:A return for this single-hander\, written by and (we think) performed by Gillian Rhodes\, who is really very good at this storytelling-with-performance sort of thing. This time it’s a coming-of-age tale of a young boy in the late 19th century; a chance encounter with the famous clown Pierrot “sets off a chain of events that leads the boy through the city\, from the freak show to the opera and all the way to the future … He meets a host of colourful and mysterious characters that prompt him to question what it really means to be remarkable\, and what it costs”. Recommended. \nThere’s a performance in French at 2.30pm and in English at 7.30pm.

SUMMARY:The Ice Hole – A Cardboard Comedy
DESCRIPTION:This production debuted for four performances in May and two in July; all sold out (deservedly). It’s now back for a run at Theatre by QE2 and these are its last two shows (at 3pm and 8pm). \nIt’s an English version of an award-winning French comedy from 2021\, Les Gros Patinent Bien\, by Pierre Guillois and Olivier Martin-Salvan. They reworked the original for an Anglophone audience at the Edinburgh Festival as The Ice Hole\, and there were rave reviews for a show that has an imposing Shakespearian actor telling incredible stories of a man journeying through Europe under the curse of a mermaid he’d absent-mindedly caught in a fjord. The actor is accompanied by a put-upon flunky (maybe a stage manager?) who strives with the help of hastily-scribbled cardboard signs and boxes to help us understand the meaning of this journey … \nIt’s fun\, mad as trumpets\, with echoes of Monty Python\, Laurel and Hardy\, and the Mighty Boosh. Matthew T Corbett directs Sadiq Saboowala and Patrick Albrecht\, two-time winners of the local Short+Sweet Dubai Theatre Festival\, for Complices Théâtre. \n

SUMMARY:Rumors!
DESCRIPTION:Complices Théâtre presents Neil Simon’s farcical package of gags\, twists and zingers. A group of friends gathers for a dinner party\, only to find that something is not quite right – the kitchen staff have vanished\, the hostess is missing\, and the host has shot himself in the head (accidentally\, as it turns out). That’s just the start of the evening; as more guests arrive\, each adds their own twist to the unfolding situation … It’s really a very good play\, with clever dialogue and moments of tension amid the comedy. Jihane Tehini directs. \nThere are performances on 22\, 23 and 24 November at 8pm\, with a matinée at 2.30pm on 24 November. It’s played in English\, with subtitles in French too.
