REGISTRATIONS CLOSE: Thursday 6th November 2014

Register your interest as a Director for Short+Sweet Dubai 2015, the biggest little play festival in the world!

If you are selected as a Director for the festival, you will get to pick from the top scripts from Dubai based and international writers which we will receive this year and a line-up of amazing actors. You will have the opportunity to direct a 10-minute performance during the Top 30 or the Wildcards and, if selected, participate in the Red Carpet Gala Finals! 

HOW IT WORKS

Short+Sweet Dubai stages around 65 plays, each put in the hands of capable UAE based directors. Open to both the experienced and fresh blood, Short+Sweet gives hundreds of artists an opportunity to write, perform, develop, and direct, while encouraging audiences to see some brand new works on stage!

S+S Dubai is separated into two divisions: the Top 30 and the Wildcards.

Around 200 scripts are shortlisted from the thousands received year-round by Short+Sweet and are selected by directors. Those selected  are performed and assessed by Judges and the audience to determine the best of the best to win a spot in the Red Carpet Gala Finals.
