Kuwait Little Theatre
I never knew that we had the ‘busiest and best’ Little Theatre in Kuwait, Ahmadi area. It’s been established since 1948. How come I never heard of it before! You can book online too! Cooool …
The last time I attended a play in Kuwait, performed in English at Shamiya Theatre, was Hamlet in 2001, directed by a Kuwaiti actor/playwright Sulayman AlBassam (His Website: Zaoum Group). Below is a recent photo of Sulayman AlBassam.
And another one I went to see was Macbeth performed by a different group called ADG-Europe (can’t remember when though).

Hi!
There also The Kuwait Elizabethans, who used to have a website but I can’t find it again. I did find phone numbers to them though: 5631725, 5643409. They had a production of the Twelfth Night in 2002.
Then there’s also the Kuwait Players, 5740256, 5625316. They are also an English group.
Then you have the Kuwait Singers: 5313039, which is like a choir (usually have a Christmas carol production which whould be coming up soon)
If you keep an eye on the What’s On section of the Arab Times, they usually have ads when they have a show coming up.
Also, many of the English shcools have in house productions, usually towards the end of the school year. I myself was in the Mikado and The King and I in ESF.
Too bad the KTL’s Sinbad is only palying until Dec 15. I’m arriving on Dec 16
Wrtie a review if you do end up going

Yep, I know about the private schools, but the others you mentioned, wow! Quite impressive …
Thanx so much. I just love the theatre.
I guess it might be a good idea to read the paper from now on …
