Tom, Dick and Harry

I don't have to think twice when it comes to a Shah Sharabeel production. His name has become synonymous with quality English theater. I run to see the play as soon as possible.

This humorous play, by Ray and Michael Cooney, is about three brothers; Tom, Dick and Harry. Tom, the wise one, is married and wants to adopt a baby. Mrs. Potter from the adoption agency is about to arrive to evaluate the family. The whole play revolves around the three brother's preparation to make a good impression on Mrs. Potter and how one after the other they get into so much trouble.

Honestly, I didn't like it a lot. Perhaps it wasn't as HUGE as his last two plays Phantom of the Opera and Bombay Dreams were. There was just one set and it continued for almost two hours without any interval. In Bombay Dreams, the musical, there were about 500 performers and huge sets and beautiful dances. While it was the biggest production I had ever seen, Phantom of the Opera had the best sets and costume. These were the two best plays. This one was just time pass.









Here is an interview of Shah Sharabeel with little clips from Bombay Dreams



OK, now I have to put a dance from Bombay Dreams too :-D This was the last one and very unexpectedly the performers threw confetti all over the audience. Shah's plays are full of surprises. In Phantom of the Opera they actually threw a large chandelier on the stage from a height which shattered the bulbs with a loud noise.
