After much success with The Adventures of Ali Baba, the next instalment of 1001 Nights was going to be quite a challenge.

The writers of Sindbad have once again managed to bring the audiences of Dubai magic and wonder of a spectacular show which included; the mystery of the Egyptian desert, the spectacle of an Asian circus, A ship on stage, a magical flying carpet chase through the streets of Dubai, two heroes, two villains, haunting images on stage and a climatic battle against good and evil.

This story was completely original and tailor made for Dubai audiences, but never ignored the legacy which Sindbad brings to his adventures.

The Adventures of Sindbad finished its run at The Centrepoint Theatre, Dubai and Emirates Palace Theatre, Abu Dhabi. The production which was produced by The Great Entertainment Company and Make It So played to full houses also selling out at the Emirates Palace Theatre on the final show of the production.

The response from both the children and adult audiences was outstanding.

The production was directed by Stephen Holroyd, written by Trevor Nicholls and Stephen Holroyd and technically managed by Benjamin Lee. A big thank-you would also like to be extended to Helen Dale (another one of Make It So’s intrepid members) who put so much effort into co-ordination of the production between the UK and Dubai.

Due to the success of this production there are plans for a second outing this year in the autumn where it will tour further the Middle East regions, followed by a sequel early next year. More concrete details to follow at a later date.

The production boasted a UK West End cast of seven actors together with a local dance company of talented young performers from the Step by Step dance school

Make It So would like to thank everybody involved in the production for their outstanding contributions and for making The Adventures of Sindbad a great success.

Photographs are due to follow shortly in the Media section of the website.
