The musical historical play ‘Zayed and the Dream’ will be staged on August 1 and 3 in London. The two-night shows are scheduled to be held at London Coliseum.
The play is produced by Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage (Adach). The London show is part of the international tour of the play which was ordered by Gen. Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces.
The international tour of the show, which was first staged in Abu Dhabi in December 2, 2008, on the occasion of the UAE National Day, continues after the great success of the show in Beirut last February and Paris last March.
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.
Mohammed Khalaf Al Mazrouei, Director-General of Adach, said: "We are proud to perform this work all over the world. We are gratified that it has been well received and that what Sheikh Zayed has given to his country and to his people, as well as to the Arab and Muslim nations and the rest of humanity, has been highly appreciated."
