The countdown to the second Short+Sweet Abu Dhabi has started. One week to go. We’re ready for the performances on January 25th and 26th, are you?
Staged over two nights, Short+Sweet is a collection of 12 plays that encompass a spectrum of genres. Each Short+Sweet event spotlights locally based actors, writers, and directors, so the Abu Dhabi version will see a host of local talent staging their work. And each festival has three clear goals:
1. For the participants to have a positive experience
2. For the audience to have a positive experience
3. To create good theatre
While this is only the fourth edition of the Abu Dhabi Short+Sweet competition, the global phenomenon started some 16 years ago in Sydney, Australia. Since its inception, it has grown while travelling the globe and currently features in nine countries and 28 cities. Says Zakaia Cvitanovich, festival director of Short+Sweet Abu Dhabi 2019, “Short+Sweet provides a wonderful opportunity for people to give writing, directing or acting a go... whether you’re an experienced theatre practitioner or new to the world of theatre.” Tickets are available at https://www.nyuad-artscenter.org/en_US/events/2019/short-sweetabu-dhabi-2019/ Venue: Black Box Theatre at the NYUAD Arts Centre, Saadiyat Island. Top 12 Dates: 7:30 pm Friday 25th and Saturday 26th January 2018.
