The evening begins with an ensemble of actors performing the first act, establishing character relationships and motives. In the second act, the script is abandoned, and the actors rely entirely on instinct and creativity to complete the story, pushing the boundaries of live performance.
Caught In The Act asks us to confront the laws of live theatre. It is an invitation to embrace spontaneity and rediscover the wonder of creativity. This ambitious, and fun production, promises an unforgettable magical experience for one night only.
Written by Hassan Abdulrazzak, directed by Nada Sabet and performed by Mohammedally Al-Hashemi.
