The countdown is on for ONE SMALL STEP, a huge hit at the 2008 and 2009 Edinburgh Fringe Festivals, which is touching down at Dubai Community Theatre and Arts Centre (DUCTAC) from 10th – 14th February.
The action-packed show, which will take place at DUCTAC’s Kilachand Theatre, tells the story of one of the most exciting adventures of the Twentieth Century – the space race.
From rocket launches to orbits of the earth, huge g-forces to the first dog in space, and those unforgettable first steps, the excitement of this explosive period of history will be brought to life on stage in a show described by Time Out London as ‘a life-affirmingly brilliant piece of theatre’.
Two extraordinary actors (Robin Hemmings and Oliver Millingham) will take you on an unforgettable journey to the moon and back, bringing dozens of characters to life in a brilliantly inventive portrayal of the space race. The show, which is directed by Toby Hulse, uses familiar household objects such as buckets, lamps and cardboard boxes in fabulously inventive ways to bring this incredible story to life.
One Small Step has thrilled audiences worldwide and has earned rave reviews from The Sunday Times, The Telegraph and The Scotsman, among others. It was subsequently chosen to be part of the British Council Showcase, a biennially selected collection of cutting edge British work.
Inspirational and educational for adults and youngsters alike, One Small Step is full of emotion, intense moments, epic achievements and humour, from beginning to triumphant end. So get your helmet on, strap yourself in and book your tickets now!
One Small Step is part of DUCTAC’s Season 09/10, the four-month arts extravaganza that features a host of high-calibre artists and performers from around the globe. The Season is the UAE’s very first multi-disciplinary festival, with arts, music and dance, drama and film events giving the community a rich cultural programme throughout the winter.
