The first show of the musical historical play "Zayed and the Dream" was shown to a packed hall on Sunday at London Coliseum.
The 2,360 seats of London's oldest theatre were fully booked by Arab community in England in addition to English and European play lovers.
The play is produced by Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage (ADACH) in co-ordination with renowned Lebanese Caracalla Dance Theater.
More than 100 artists and poets are taking part in this artistic vision inspired by the march of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, founder of the UAE, and validated by the authenticity of the region's heritage and roots.
Two essential values have been achieved through the performance of this play: artistic value and historical value. The piece carries traditional values that were inserted artistically into the play for the benefit of society, which in turn will reform itself through upholding these values and appreciating this art.
The 45-minute play was shown in two chapters with narratives in English.
The London show is part of the international tour of the play which was ordered by General Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces.
The second show of the play is scheduled for Tuesday.
