Three showstoppers to watch this month in Dubai

01 Betrayal

The complexity of human relationships is the focus in Harold Pinter’s Betrayal, playing at The Junction theatre in Alserkal this month. This meticulously staged production looks very carefully and very calculatingly at the odd relationships that can exist between husbands, wives, and lifelong friends. Expect plenty of drama, love and deceit when this officially licensed Broadway show hits the stage in April.

April 1 to 3

Christian Anderson’s classic fairytale is bought to life at Theatre by QE2. You know the drill: a mermaid is tricked by an evil sea witch into forsaking her voice in return for becoming human. With the help of a comedic crab, a silly seagull, a cute guppy and other sea friends, will the mermaid find her prince? This is one fun musical you need to watch with the whole family.

April 1 to 10

National Theatre Live brings the best of British theatre to screens across the world and this month you can watch another Pinter classic. No Man’s Land stars Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart as two aging writers who meet in a Hampstead pub. As the night goes on, their stories become increasingly unbelievable and the conversation turns into a revealing power game.
