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.
