One of two 10-minute play festivals<\/a> running concurrently in Dubai on six successive weekends with a basically similar format. This one is probably the more familiar name; it’s been running in Dubai for some years, latterly as a franchise but now under direct control from the Short +Sweet organisation (the principle of a festival of 10-minute plays is common enough, but S+S has put a lot of effort and experience into the format, the rules, the judging criteria, and everything else you need for a successful event). Each of the S+S Dubai weekends (9-10 May is a break) features afternoon and evening sessions for 10 plays, meaning you could see something around 80 microplays if you attended all weekend performances up to 16-17 May \u2013 the best return to compete for the top prizes on the Gala Weekend, 23-24 May.<\/p>\n
