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. Eventually only one remains\, to be crowned the Maestro. “Fast-paced\, unpredictable\, and hilarious” says the promo\, and you couldn’t argue with that. 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.

SUMMARY:Boeing-Boeing
DESCRIPTION:Marc Camoletti’s farce\, which first played in 1960\, was a smash hit in his native country and (in the English translation by Beverly Cross and Francis Evans) on Broadway and the West End; it went to Hollywood too in 1965\, in an adaptation with Jerry Lewis and Tony Curtis. Now it’s getting the Dubai treatment with a H72 production at The Junction. \nThe original has a delicious 60s vibe that hopefully will be retained for a classic farce plot: swinging bachelor Bernard is simultaneously engaged to Gloria\, Gabriella\, and Gretchen\, all flight attendants who don’t know of each other’s existence. But then things get complicated; his friend Robert  comes to stay\, there’s a recalcitrant housekeeper who has to keep changing the photographs of the fiancées\, and complications such as weather and a new\, speedier Boeing jet disrupt his careful planning such that all three air hostesses (no one called them ‘cabin crew’ in the 60s) are unexpectedly in Paris – and indeed in Bernard’s flat – at the same time … \nCue confusion\, confessions\, chaos\, and near escapes. It’s a terrific update on the traditional fin de siècle French farce\, redolent of its times\, and director Sarah Potter is clearly very happy that this production is finally getting to the stage; it’s been in the works since 2017\, was scheduled last year\, had to be cancelled a day before the show because of pandemic issues. But it is happening\, and she says “the fantastic cast keep up a frenetic pace and will keep you guessing how it’s all going to turn out until the very end”. \nShe has the sort of cosmopolitan cast that speaks of Dubai: Asad Raza Khan plays Bernard\, Dee Gee is Robert\, the maid Bertha is Sumaya Kubeisy\, and the girls are Priyanka Johri\, Gabriela Ioana and Vicky Clips. \nThere are performances at 7.30pm on 24\, 25 and 26 November with a matinée on the Sunday as well.

SUMMARY:Jethro Tull: Seven Decades
DESCRIPTION:Dating all the way back to the late 1960s\, the darlings of quirky prog rock are still on the road with the Seven Decades tour. As with many long-lived bands\, Jethro Tull has gone through many changes in its roster; and its leader\, multi-instrumentalist Ian Anderson and the man who popularised the flute as a rock instrument (!)\, is the sole member of the original lineup – but then Jethro Tull has always been his band\, reflecting his musical vision. \nOn tour is the current incarnation: Joe Parrish on guitars and mandolin\, John O’Hara on keyboards\, Scott Hammond on drums\, David Goodier on bass\, and Anderson fronting and fluting. It’s the lineup responsible for the bands’s 23rd studio album RökFlöte – rock flute\, of course – released in April 2023 and generally well received. \nThe touring set apparently includes at least one song from each decade of Tull\, some fan favourites mixed with a few rareities. You probably won’t get too much one-legged fluting (Anderson is 76 now) and reportedly the iconic codpiece has apparently been left in the 70s. But you never know …

SUMMARY:Boeing-Boeing
DESCRIPTION:A second evening for Marc Camoletti’s farce\, adapted into English by Beverly Cross and Francis Evans) and now it’s getting the Dubai treatment with a H72 production at The Junction. It has a classic farce plot: swinging bachelor Bernard is simultaneously engaged to Gloria\, Gabriella\, and Gretchen\, all flight attendants who don’t know of each other’s existence. But then things get complicated; his friend Robert  comes to stay\, there’s a recalcitrant housekeeper who has to keep changing the photographs of the fiancées\, and complications such as weather and a new\, speedier Boeing jet disrupt his careful planning such that all three air hostesses (no one called them ‘cabin crew’ in the 60s) are unexpectedly in Paris – and indeed in Bernard’s flat – at the same time … Cue confusion\, confessions\, chaos\, and near escapes. \nThere are final performances at 2.30 7.30pm on 26 November.

DESCRIPTION:The Dubai-based Canadian artist’s third solo show is a series of her signature abstracts\, featuring striking use of colour and aiming to leave the viewer with “feelings of exaltation\, elation and joyousness”.
