The story

Amman Theatre Festival in Amman

Amman's international theatre festival has run each November since 1994, now staged at the Royal Cultural Centre with a program mixing Arabic and English-language productions, workshops, and seminars. It gives the city a dedicated dramatic-theatre event distinct from its music, jazz, and film festivals, and predates most of Amman's other named cultural events.

Amman has hosted an international theatre festival since 1994, running for a little over a week each November and giving Jordan's capital a claim as a regional hub for Middle Eastern stagecraft during that period.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Its defining feature is longevity and genre focus: a continuously running theatre-specific festival since 1994, older than Amman Design Week, the Amman International Film Festival, or the Amman Jazz Festival, and staged at the purpose-built Royal Cultural Centre rather than an ancient or improvised outdoor venue

02

The mystery stays covered

Its dual-language format, running Arabic and English productions side by side within the same festival week, also distinguishes it from single-language cultural events elsewhere in Amman's festival calendar
