The 7 Sins is an originally written stage play written by playwrights who are based in Dubai; Dee Gee, Edwige Narbey and Alex Broun. This production is presented by Artsin Productions in partnership with The Junction.
This play explores the concept of “7 Deadly Sins” in a modern presentation, putting emphasis on social media. As an audience, we will experience the sins in today’s world and how our daily lives invite us to sin, perhaps not always in our control. An interesting fact about this production is that the cast and crew is comprised of 11 different nationalities which brings together a spectacular global fusion of talent, hard work and flavor.
The writers also want to present the idea that these vices often evolve with time as do us all. We must look deep within our soul as well as our surroundings and be the best person we can be.
The 7 Sins is based around Dubai, UAE, focused around the fireworks at New Years
