SUMMARY:Gidion's Knot
DESCRIPTION:Over the course of a parent/teacher conference\, a grieving mother and an emotionally overwhelmed primary school teacher have a fraught conversation about the tragic suicide of the mother’s son. Gidion may have been bullied – or he may have been an abuser … \nAs his story is slowly uncovered\, the women try to reconstruct a satisfying explanation for Gidion’s act as they come to terms with their own feelings of culpability and the roles of the school system and parents in the development of children. \nThe title of this powerful two-hander by Johanna Adams is a punning reference to the Gordian Knot that Alexander the Great famously cut with a sword instead of untying like so many before him had tried but failed to do. The knot that remains tied is the play’s unanswered puzzle: what drove Gidion to suicide? What was he really like? \nOsman Aboubakr directs Eliane Germanos and Caroline Hamrén. There are further performances on 8 and 9 February at 2pm and 8pm both days. \n

DESCRIPTION:Very silly\, very funny: 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. \nThe show\, which has been seen by more than a million people around the world since its 2006 premiere\, was written by Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner; it’s performed here by Scott Hoatson and Joseph Maudsley\, in a production directed by Richard Hurst. \nThere are shows at 3pm and 7pm on 12\, 13\, 14 and 15 February; it then moves to Abu Dhabi’s Cultural Foundation for 21 and 22 February.

SUMMARY:Almost\, Maine
DESCRIPTION:A rare non-improv evening at the Courtyard\, and a perfect Valentine’s treat: John Cariani’s play is made up of a series of interconnected vignettes that explore love and loss in a remote\, mythical New England town called Almost.

As with all Courtyard shows\, this is a free and unticketed event (donations welcome) – put your name on the guestlist and get there early enough to bag a seat. \nThere are further performances on 14\, 15 and 16 February. \n

SUMMARY:Romeo and Juliet
DESCRIPTION:Now this looks a lot of fun: a version of the Shakespeare play (pretty faithful to the original\, apparently) woven together with Queen music\, a five-piece band and choir\, dancing\, and lots of swordfighting. \nSays the blurb: “Imagine Shakespeare’s classic envisioned by Freddie Mercury\, blending elements of Zeffirelli\, Baz Luhrmann\, Jamie Lloyd and Bridgerton into a magical spectacle. The production features iconic Queen hits such as Bohemian Rhapsody\, We Will Rock You\, Somebody to Love\, Who wants to live forever and We are the Champions …” Director Alex Broun says the adaptation by Lydia DeSouza “takes the original story to a whole new level and reveals magic that may often be lost in the text. The show literally has everything – dancing\, duels\, romance\, singing\, and one of the greatest love stories of all time. This will be a night of pure joy you won’t forget.” And of course it opens on Valentine’s Day … \nThe production is directed by Broun for the highly rated Cross Bronx Crew\, “an award-winning theatre group that loves the art of acting\, making good theatre\, and having fun while we do it …”. The cast features a mix of some of the city’s top actors plus recent Sharjah Performing Arts Academy graduates ”and exciting new faces”. Musical direction is by Sam Randall\, choreography by Beth Mitchinson from Music Theatre Dubai\, and fight choreography by Jay Nagjee. \nThere are further performances at 2.30 and 7.30pm on 15 February and 7.30pm on 16 February.

SUMMARY:Boiler Room Six
DESCRIPTION:Now this should be an impressive piece of theatre: Boiler Room Six tells the almost impossible but true survival story of Frederick Barrett\, lead firemen in one of the boiler rooms on the Titanic. Barrett’s story is one of the most devastating accounts of the last few hours of Titanic\, and Tom Foreman’s one-man play gives a voice to the working men below deck … The play premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe in August 2024\, selling out its entire run\, and receiving widespread acclaim\, including being awarded the Best Overall Show of the festival by the Derek Awards. \nBoiler Room Six is a production of Foreman’s own company\, and it’s touring right now. The play is directed by Tom Foreman\, but we don’t know who’s playing Barrett (in UK shows it’s been Max Beken\, who got some very good reviews). There are just two performances\, on 15 and 16 February.

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.
