SUMMARY:Agatha Christie: Black Coffee
DESCRIPTION:Agatha Christie’s first piece of writing for the stage\, initially produced in 1930 and the start of a successful second career for her as a playwright. In her 1977 autobiography she describes it as “a conventional spy thriller … full of cliches” but she also notes that “it was\, I think\, not at all bad”. Indeed\, its format is familiar enough – scientist/inventor Sir Claud Amory discovers that someone in his household has stolen the secret formula\, the guests are gathered in the library (via a neat and unusual trick) and traps legendary detective Hercule Poirot plus his assistant Captain Hastings arrive to investigate … but Amory is murdered before they can get started\, and Poirot’s little grey cells have to work overtime … \nWe don’t know any details of the cast or director\, but it is a fun play and should make for a good evening. There are further performances at 7.30pm on 27 and 28 September\, with a 2.30pm matinee as well on the Sunday.

SUMMARY:Every Brilliant Thing
DESCRIPTION:The final performance of this run for “one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see about depression – and possibly one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see\, full stop”. The Junction’s main man Gautam Goenka directs and performs; the play manages to be both intimate and interactive\, a touching\, funny\, and uplifting play that chronicles life’s small joys and reveals the lengths to which we will go for those we love. Highly recommended.

SUMMARY:Every Brilliant Thing
DESCRIPTION:A very welcome return for this single-hander play that has already been a smash hit at the Junction four times in the last three years. It’s not hard to see why: written by the English playwright/director Duncan Macmillan with actor/writer/comedian Johnny Donahoe\, it manages to be both intimate and interactive\, a touching\, funny\, and uplifting play that chronicles life’s small joys and reveals the lengths to which we will go for those we love. \nAs his mother battles chronic depression\, a child creates a list of every thing they can think of that makes life worth living. As the child grows\, so does the list. Looking back on a life of ups and downs\, the man takes the audience on an inspiring journey that celebrates finding joy in the mundane and being grateful for the simple pleasures hiding all around us. \nThe Guardian called the original Edinburgh Festival production “one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see about depression – and possibly one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see\, full stop”. The Junction’s main man Gautam Goenka directs and performs. Highly recommended. \nThere are further performances on 13 and 14 September. \n

SUMMARY:The Government Inspector
DESCRIPTION:Somehow Nikolai Gogol’s play never feels outdated: originally published in 1836 and revised in 1842\, the play is a comedy of mistaken identity\, satirizing human greed\, stupidity\, and political corruption. It’s also very funny\, “proving that bureaucracy and buffoonery are a match made in theatrical heaven” as the producers put it. There are further shows on 28 and 29 June.

SUMMARY:La Lezione di Teatro | The Acting Class
DESCRIPTION:This 45-minute play — first seen at the NYUAD Arts Center last autumn – is a joyful lesson in theatre and a tribute to the theatrical talent of Italians for connecting to anyone\, transcending language barriers. Set partly in English and partly in Italian (and without subtitles)\, the show ironically demolishes preconceived notions of the difficulty of theatre language and highlights how communication problems can be solved with theatrical bodywork \nThe plot is simple enough\, set in the tradition of the comedy of errors: an Italian actress (Francesca Bizzarri\, who also developed the piece) receives a student (played by Claudio Grilli) for a private drama lesson in her apartment; he is eager to learn the tricks of the trade\, she is thrilled at the idea of making him fall in love with Italian theatre. She sits him down and searches through her library\, preparing the ideal acting class for him – from Plautus to Pirandello via Dario Fo. The lesson falters on language problems\, and communication breaks down until the universal language of commedia dell’arte comes to the rescue …

SUMMARY:Sunday Morning
DESCRIPTION:Successful 40s-ish photographer Mat (James Cuningham) takes us on a heart-warming\, epiphanic journey in this one-man show\, written by Nick Warren and directed by Jenine Collocott.

Straying from his regular route he ventures into an unknown and rundown section of the city where he makes a gruesome discovery that changes everything … This fast-paced show is infused with the kind of wit\, acute observation\, real suspense\, imminent danger\, selfish need\, and poignant humanity that are the basic elements of urban life in contemporary South Africa\, where it’s a multiple award winner.

SUMMARY:Thousand Nights and One
DESCRIPTION:“A mesmerising tapestry of tales” promises the blurb. Written and directed by Rasika Agashe\, it’s a magical look at the fate of Scheherazade\, the narrator of the original ‘One Thousand and One Nights’. Rasika Agashe says she has long been fascinated by the Arabian Nights stories; “reading them now\, I realize they are about strong women who navigate their survival through storytelling. That’s the power of storytelling!” \nAt the core of her approach to the Scheherazade story (a Sultan weds anew each day\, only to have the bride slain at dawn to preempt any treachery: Scheherazade bucks the trend by captivating him with her stories\, sparing her life with each new sunrise) is the enigmatic Fakir (Dee Gee)\, who holds the key to Scheherazade’s storytelling; and Amina (Audrey Vaz)\, whose journey of secrets and survival embodies the resilience of women in the face of destiny. \nThere’s a second performance on 9 March.

SUMMARY:Boiler Room Six
DESCRIPTION:The second (and final) performance of Tom Foreman’s account of 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 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.

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:Gidion's Knot
DESCRIPTION:The final performances (at 2pm and 8pm) for this powerful two-hander by Johanna Adams. 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 … As 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. \nOsman Aboubakr directs Eliane Germanos and Caroline Hamrén. \n

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

SUMMARY:The Ice Hole – A Cardboard Comedy
DESCRIPTION:A second performance for Complices Théâtre’s production of this fun comedy. It’s mad as trumpets\, with echoes of Monty Python\, Laurel and Hardy\, and the Mighty Boosh. An imposing Shakespearian actor tells incredible stories of a man journeying through Europe under the curse of a mermaid he’d absent-mindedly caught in a fjord. The actor is accompanied by a put-upon flunky (maybe a stage manager?) who strives with the help of hastily-scribbled cardboard signs and boxes to help us understand the meaning of this journey … \nNote that as well as the ticket price\, you’ll need access to Alserkal Avenue’s Quoz Arts Fest to get at the Junction. So add an extra AED 63 to the cost of the outing. It’s still worth it. \n

SUMMARY:The Ice Hole – A Cardboard Comedy
DESCRIPTION:This English version of an award-winning French comedy has been winning rave reviews\, and the production has popped up a few times at various Dubai venues in the last few months – most (deservedly) selling out. \nIt’s fun\, mad as trumpets\, with echoes of Monty Python\, Laurel and Hardy\, and the Mighty Boosh. An imposing Shakespearian actor tells incredible stories of a man journeying through Europe under the curse of a mermaid he’d absent-mindedly caught in a fjord. The actor is accompanied by a put-upon flunky (maybe a stage manager?) who strives with the help of hastily-scribbled cardboard signs and boxes to help us understand the meaning of this journey … \nMatthew T Corbett directs Sadiq Saboowala and Patrick Albrecht\, two-time winners of the local Short+Sweet Dubai Theatre Festival\, for Complices Théâtre. There’s a second performance on 26 Janaury. \nNote that as well as the ticket price\, you’ll need access to Alserkal Avenue’s Quoz Arts Fest to get at the Junction. So add an extra AED 63 to the cost of the outing. It’s still worth it. \n
