Short Play Production | 2015

“It’s light-hearted, it’s entertaining, it’s upbeat and it’s very fast-paced. Basically it is bite-sized theatre for a bite-sized generation. Every ten minutes there is a new play, so even if one of the play is less appealing to you, in ten minutes there will be another one.” – Liz Hadaway, Artistic Director, Shorter+Sweeter

Short+Sweet Dubai, the UAE version of the biggest little play festival in the world, had its inaugural run in 2012. Three years later, in 2015, it spawned Shorter+Sweeter, a touring show that packs in some of the best bite-sized dramatic treats from the last three years into one highly entertaining and energized show.

A Dubai Culture supported initiative; this innovative production of seven award winning 10 minute plays features a cast of 5 actors playing multiple roles.

The show premiered at Madinat Jumeirah in May 2015 followed by performances at Abu Dhabi Theatre and Dubai Festival for Youth Theatre.

“From a talking corpse to a crazy waitress, Juliet, Persephone, sexy violinist and a silly lobster, this was the most fun I’ve had as an actor, slipping in and out of multiple roles, all in one show!  Shorter+Sweeter was a trailblazer for its brilliant direction, set, cast and performances.”
