In a house full stage, the first show of the musical historical play "Zayed and the Dream" was shown Sunday at London Coliseum. The 2360 seats of London's oldest theatre were fully booked by Arab community in England in addition to English and European play lovers in Briton.

The play is produced by Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage (ADACH) in coordination with renowned Lebanese Caracalla Dance Theatre.

More than 100 artist and poets are taking part in this illuminating artistic vision inspired by the march of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, founder of UAE, and validated by the authenticity of the region's heritage and roots. Two essential values have been achieved through the performance of this play: artistic value and historical value. The piece carries traditional values that were inserted artistically into the play for the benefit of society, which in turn will reform itself through upholding these values and appreciating this art.

The 45 minutes play was shown in two chapters with English narrative.

The London show is part of the international tour of the play which was ordered by H.H. Gen. Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces.

The international tour of the show, which was first staged in Abu Dhabi in December 2nd 2008 in the occasion of the national day, continues after the great success of the show in Beirut last February and Paris last March.

The second show of the play is scheduled for Tuesday 3rd August. – Emirates News Agency, WAM
