What happens when their public lives meet their private lives, and their private lives meet their secret lives? The answer unfolds in a play that audiences packed out the first time round.

What to Expect

A Comedy of Secrets

Every buzz and notification becomes a potential bombshell. Expect laughs, awkward silences and plenty of twists as hidden messages surface.

A Multicultural Ensemble

The diverse cast reflects Dubai itself, so the characters and situations will feel familiar to many in the audience.

Intimate Theatre

The Junction is a small, independent theatre, which means you are close to the action and can catch every reaction.

Why It Sold Out the First Time

Game Set Match Re-Run returns because the original production struck a chord. The idea of handing over your phone to friends is one almost everyone has imagined, and the play pushes that idea as far as it will go.

The result is a comedy that feels very current, with situations that will have you glancing at your own phone on the way home. It is a great choice for a group night out, followed by plenty of debate over dinner.
