Not that this means we have forgotten all of you who had a stressful time last week, braving the heat and traffic at Janet Jackson’s performance on Yas Island. this weekend, we have India’s legendary rock band Indus Creed performing live in our neck of the woods, along with a fantastic stage adaptation of John Gray’s, “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.” But what we are really rooting for are those brave women who will take to the ramp on Friday at BurJuman, as they share their stories about surviving breast cancer. come on Dubai, let’s all pitch in and show our support. Thursday – October 20 Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus Anyone who has been in a relationship will probably be sniggering in their seats, while a few others might just give in to the urge of an elbow nudge or five. this, my dear friends, is extremely witty and eye-opening stage adaptation of John Gray’s bestseller novel, “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus”. Simply sit back and watch the pages unravel a satire like no other as the narrator progressively describes all these everyday situations and explains why they are so frustrating and what we can do to get through them better. the show runs from Thursday through Saturday, from 8pm at the First Group Theatre, Souk Madinat Jumeirah. Tickets are priced at Dh150 and Dh175. Call: 050 624 7392 Friday – October 21 Pink Survivor Fashion show if there ever was an evening to turn out and show your support, this is it.
