SUMMARY:The 7 Sins
DESCRIPTION:We’re always happy to promote local talent\, and this series of playlets is written by three Dubai-based playwrights (Dee Gee\, Edwige Narbey\, Alex Broun) Dee Gee directs; they are set in Dubai on New Year’s fireworks time\, and the show features cast and crew drawn from 11 different nationalities – which is about as Dubai as you could get. The sins aren’t explicitly deadly\, but we are getting a modern take on them – with the emphasis on social media. The underlying idea is that vices like these can evolve with time; “as an audience\, we will experience the sins in today’s world and how our daily lives invite us to sin\, perhaps not always in our control …” Should be a good evening (and there are two more to follow\, on 7 and 8 September). \n

SUMMARY:Searching for Pierrot
DESCRIPTION:A one-person play written and performed by Gillian Rhodes\, who is really very good at this storytelling-with-performance sort of thing. This time it’s a coming-of-age tale of a young boy in the late 19th century; a chance encounter with the famous clown Pierrot “sets off a chain of events that leads the boy through the city\, from the freak show to the opera and all the way to the future … He meets a host of colourful and mysterious characters that prompt him to question what it really means to be remarkable\, and what it costs”. Recommended.

SUMMARY:The Welkin
DESCRIPTION:Last chance to see this performance of 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.

SUMMARY:The Welkin
DESCRIPTION:A second performance (of three) for 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. \nThere is a final performance on 23 June.

DESCRIPTION:A second performance for Culture Emulsion’s version of Francis Veber’s highly successful modern French farce. Pierre Brochant is one of the Parisian businessmen who have a weekly ‘idiots’ dinner’\, where guests bring along a dimwit who can be ridiculed.

Shows as part of Culture Emulsion’s annual Tous en Scène festival of Francophone theatre.

SUMMARY:Les Monologues du V.
DESCRIPTION:A reprise of Culture Emulsion’s careful and effective treatment of the Vagina Monologues; the dramatist Eve Ensler based her text on more than 200 interviews with women who confided their sensations\, their traumas\, their aspirations\, their anxieties\, their joys … As the publicity for this Francophone presentation originally put it: “plus qu’une pièce de théâtre\, c’est un véritable phénomène de société”. This powerful piece of feminist theatre is performed (in French\, of course) by Solena Banks\, Marie-Alice Drissi and Chrystele Rossignol and directed by Stéphane Brismontier as part of Culture Emulsion’s annual Tous en Scène festival of Francophone theatre.

SUMMARY:Othello
DESCRIPTION:You can’t fault the Junction’s resident H72 theatre company for lack of ambition; Othello is an expansive play\, full of big characters and demanding powerful acting to deliver Shakespeare’s tale of jealousy\, interpersonal politics and social commentary. We know little of this show – it wasn’t featuring on the Junction’s website when we were compiling the Agenda – but anything directed by Gautam Goenka is going to be worth seeing. \nThere are shows on 17\, 18 and 19 May.

SUMMARY:The Ice Hole
DESCRIPTION:The final two performances for this hit comedy two-hander by Pierre Guillois and Olivier Martin-Salvan\, reworked from the French original for an Anglophone audience at last year’s Edinburgh Festival. There were rave reviews for a show that has an imposing Shakespearian actor telling 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 … \nIt’s fun\, mad as trumpets\, with echoes of Monty Python\, Laurel and Hardy\, and the Mighty Boosh; and it’s well worth an evening of your time. \nMatthew T Corbett directs Sadiq Saboowala and Patrick Albrecht for Complices Théâtre. There are shows at 2pm and 8pm today.

SUMMARY:The Ice Hole
DESCRIPTION:This is an English version of an award-winning French comedy from 2021\, Les Gros Patinent Bien\, by Pierre Guillois and Olivier Martin-Salvan. That was a story which began with boxes: in the corner of a rehearsal room\, deprived of stage and audience by the pandemic\, Guillois and Martin-Salvan – long-term friends who work as a double act – came across some cardboard and began to improvise situations using the apparently thankless material. \nThey reworked the original for an Anglophone audience at last year’s Edinburgh Festival as The Ice Hole. There were rave reviews for a show that has an imposing Shakespearian actor telling 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 … \nIt’s fun\, mad as trumpets\, with echoes of Monty Python\, Laurel and Hardy\, and the Mighty Boosh; and it’s well worth an evening of your time. \nMatthew T Corbett directs Sadiq Saboowala and Patrick Albrecht for Complices Théâtre.

SUMMARY:Torn
DESCRIPTION:The final day of performances (7.30pm and 9.30pm) for this world premiere of a new play written and directed by the award-winning Australian writer/director Alex Broun. Torn is described as “a sexy\, fast-paced\, brutal\, funny and at times moving dissection of post-millennium relationships … with echoes of Patrick Marber’s Closer“; lawyer Susan (Nadine Basiony) is in a relationship with advertising executive Cade (Osman Aboubakr)\, and voiceover artist Gerry (Elie Choufani) is in love with Susan’s PA Daniella (Lis Panilla). “Torn is about the impossibility and possibility of love in a modern world where choices abound and nothing is forever …” Should be a good show.

SUMMARY:Les Monologues du V.
DESCRIPTION:The Vagina Monologues may have had the title toned down for wider public consumption – the original was hardly likely to get past the censors\, even in this French-language version – but it still packs a powerful piece of feminist theatre. The dramatist Eve Ensler based her test on more than 200 interviews with women who confided their sensations\, their traumas\, their aspirations\, their anxieties\, their joys … As the publicity for this Francophone presentation puts it: “plus qu’une pièce de théâtre\, c’est un véritable phénomène de société”. It’s delivered by Solena Banks\, Marie-Alice Drissi and Chrystele Rossignol and directed by Culture Emulsion’s main man Stéphane Brismontier. \n
