The curtain rises on a new episode of Incongruent Podcasts, with an engaging discussion about theatre and acting in the UAE. With a special collab with Redbeat MDX and the arrival of 2nd year Middlesex University Dubai-er, Desirée Barreto to our team, we gain a deep insight into the creative minds of playwright Alex Broun and actor/producer, Osman Aboubakr. Venturing into the heart of the UAE's theater scene, we cast a spotlight on the collaborative spirit that breathes life into the stage with a focus on their new play Torn which is presenting at The Junction in Al Serkal and at the QE2. "Written and directed by ALEX BROUN, often referred to as the Shakespeare of short plays, "Torn" promises audiences an unforgettable 90 minutes of theatrical experience that will challenge perceptions and stir emotions. Featuring a talented ensemble cast, the production offers a poignant reflection on the ever-shifting landscape of love in a modern world where choices are plenty, yet nothing is guaranteed." Many tips for would-be playwrights, producers and actors, and a prize giveaway towards the end. Also check the links in comments for tickets and social accounts of all concerned! Special thanks to Tasneem Rajkotwala for setting this up.
