SUMMARY:Romeo and Juliet
DESCRIPTION:Two further performances (at 2.30 and 7.30pm) for this version of the Shakespeare play featuring a five-piece band\, songs by Queen\, 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’s a final performances at 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:Almost\, Maine
