“Theatre Needs Windows on the World”

February 1, 2011 at 8:23 pm

So the British Council (in association with Digital Theatre and others) came up with this project called “Gulf Stage” which will allow Arab Theatre to be shared around the world via film. It’s wonderful, it’s inspirational, it’s really an incredible competition and project. Finally, these people are getting the chance to share their work freely and openly, allowing it to be viewed around the world; and also, compete against other countries using a limited amount of resources. The six plays chosen were filmed in six days and will be (i’m pretty sure) available to watch online soon (once subtitles/plays are edited). There will also be a documentary on the entire project. Very cool.

Sophie,

Can you provide a link to the article you’re sourcing this info from?

Sure. I made it so that if you click the text it’ll take you to the article, but I can also post the link separately if that would be better?
