SUMMARY:Wednesday Night Impro: Maestro
DESCRIPTION:Ten actors converge for a night of scenes\, songs and games based on audience suggestions. After each round you score the players on a scale of 1 to 5\, and the one with the lowest score is eliminated.

As with all Courtyard improv evenings it’s free\, but you need to put your name on the guestlist (via the website); and it’s first-come first-served\, so get there early enough to grab a seat. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Matilda The Musical
DESCRIPTION:As the New York Post put it\, “Once in a blue moon\, a show comes out blazing and restores your faith in broadway. Matilda the Musical is that show”. The multi-award-winning musical (it has won more than 99 international awards) inspired by the Roald Dahl book had a successful run in Dubai last September; now it’s coming to Abu Dhabi – “the perfect destination to host the beloved musical”\, according to the CEP of the company responsible for putting it on for four days at Etihad Arena on Yas Island (20-23 June). \nMatilda The Musical is directed by Matthew Warchus. Sets and costumes are by Rob Howell\, with choreography by Peter Darling. All three are also Tony winners\, along with the lighting director Hugh Vanstone. The script by Tony Award-winning playwright Dennis Kelly is excellent\, sticking close enough to the original but making the most of the live-action theatricality of the stage; Tim Minchin’s original songs are terrific\, mixing wit with sing-along choruses. And it’s a Royal Shakespeare Company production\, which is itself an assurance of quality and professionalism. \nTickets starts at a reasonable enough AED 150 for weekday shows\, AED 200 at weekends. Matilda the Musical plays at 7pm on 20 and 21 June\, at 1pm and 6pm on 22 and 23 June. \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Welkin
DESCRIPTION:Lucy Kirkwood’s feminist twist on Twelve Angry Men\, with the courtroom made up of bickering\, bantering women who must decide the outcome of a heinous crime in rural Suffolk in 1759. Sally Poppy is sentenced to hang for murder but claims to be pregnant\, which would mean she escapes execution; a jury of 12 matrons are gathered to decide whether she’s telling the truth. \nIt’s a really interesting play\, not least because so many of the characters are flawed – Sally herself is not an attractive person – and no matter how good the bitching and binding among the women\, ultimately they’re supporting the patriarchal\, misogynistic legal system that condemns a woman on a man’s word (which in this case is Sally’s cuckolded husband). And there are some great parts for women\, especially the midwife who takes the lead as Sally’s principal defender. \nThis version is directed by Akansha Goenka. There are further performances on 22 and 23 June.

Sally Poppy is sentenced to hang for murder but claims to be pregnant\, which would mean she escapes execution; a jury of 12 matrons are gathered to decide whether she’s telling the truth.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Echoes of Infinite: Poetry’s Visual Symphony
DESCRIPTION:The Farjam Foundation isn’t a particularly activity gallery\, but it does have access to an excellent private collection that spans early Islam to present-day artistic practice across regional geographies and beyond. So when it puts on a show of selected artworks from The Farjam Collection\, it’s worth paying attention. \nThis one offers a contemporary take on classical themes in four paintings by Iranian artist Arash Nazari\, juxtaposed with ten miniature folios of Shahnameh (aka ‘The Book of Kings’\, Ferdowsi’s epic poem of 940-1020 CE) from the 15th to 17th century. \nThe exhibition seeks to magnify the glories of the detailed\, early illustrations portraying mythical stories of heroic tales\, with their rich tapestry of symbols and legendary characters that reflect ancient beliefs and traditions. Nazari himself is a self-taught Iranian artist who is fascinated by the paintings of the Shahnameh. His practice explores the original techniques of Persian Negaargari — a classical style of miniature painting or illustration that often features elaborate scenes in exquisite detail\, reflecting themes of literature\, mythology\, and royalty\, using fine brushwork and intricate color palettes.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Khaled Akil: The Infinite & The Finite
DESCRIPTION:A solo show for the artist’s recent work − which aims to depict “the unseen\, the felt\, and the omnipresent”. Akil creates his compositions through dozens of thin layers\, creating depth while avoiding impasto; “the drying process [of oil paint] presents and provokes questions and answers in the artist’s mind\, creating multiple effects to choose from. Akil’s work brings time and space together through medium and concept\, putting all his tools together to tackle the immensity of the universe …”

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Raed Yassin: Allegorical Ruins
DESCRIPTION:Yassin explores the implications of Roland Barthes’ concept of “the return of the dead” in photography\, playing on the tension between memory and ghostliness by utilising old black and white photographs to evoke loss and the fleeting nature of memory. Yassin’s work also encompasses themes of urban decay and political upheaval\, with a particular focus on Beirut; but despite the mantle of loss and ruin\, Yassin infuses his art with moments of hope\, prompting viewers to reflect on memory’s complexities and consider the possibility of renewal amidst the remnants of the past.

SUMMARY:Book-Paper-Scissors: dir Nanako Hirose (2019)
DESCRIPTION:The book designer’s job is not only to come up with the outstanding jacket of a book\, but also to carefully choose the papers and the fonts\, and layout them to create the unique physical book. This documentary on 75-year-old Japanese book designer Nobuyoshi Kikuchi presents a fascinating portrait of a man who has devoted his life to his craft – he has designed more than 15\,000 books\, and he still works with a ruler\, scissors\, and pencils\, creating unique fonts\, and making meticulous use of the particular properties of the chosen paper. He enjoys the personal exchange with authors\, a good cup of coffee\, and a stroll through the flea market … \nThis is a Cinema Akil presentation in collaboration with House of Artisans at Qasr Al Husn\, one of a series of screenings that narrate diverse stories of artisans from various backgrounds and cultures.
