The story
Bahrain Theatre Festival in Manama cultural venues
The Bahrain Theatre Festival is a national competition among Bahraini drama troupes, staged each November largely at the Bahrain National Theatre and other Manama cultural venues under the Ministry of Culture. Productions run mostly in Arabic and compete for jury prizes in writing, direction and performance. Visitors get the strongest experience with some Arabic or prior knowledge of the specific play, though staging and performance carry value regardless of language.
Bahraini theatre troupes compete for a national audience each November when the Bahrain Theatre Festival gathers productions from across the country's amateur and semi-professional drama scene, typically staged at the Bahrain National Theatre and other Manama cultural venues.
