"Let's Start Final Game" looks at how kids use technology

Plot and themes

The play shows how kids and teens are becoming more attached to digital technology. The story shows how too much reliance on technology may make people feel alone, even while it does improve daily living. It's about a girl who thinks that a virtual friendship is better than a genuine one since it offers her ongoing support without judging her. Her relatives and friends are worried about her, and she finally realises that virtual connections don't have actual feelings and that soothing words might be repetitive and impersonal. The girl realises she was wrong and becomes back in touch with her family and friends.

Important messages

The production sends key messages to young people: digital tools can help with everyday tasks but can't take the place of actual human interactions; emotions and sentiments are unique to humans; family support is important during tough times; and true friendship shows itself in hard circumstances.

Using a visual approach

Instead of real surroundings, digital screens were used for both aesthetic and symbolic reasons. This option helped form the stage setting, made sure that scenes flowed smoothly into each other, and kept the visual rhythm going without destroying the sense of theatre.

Direction and performance

Because there were screens, the cast had to move in a well-calculated and exact way. The director ensured the live performance and visuals didn't interfere.

Young actors and crew

The show contained a fresh group of young actors, including Aisha Al Shehhi, Ali Al Ghais, Amna Fahad, Hamed Al Hufaiti, Maryam Al Suraidi, and Al Henouf Al Suraidi. Some of them were on stage for the first time. Their natural acting and straightforward speech made it easy for kids to understand the play's message. Overall, the presentation was a modern theatrical experience that fit perfectly with how children's theatre is changing.

Adel Al Qassar designed the sets, Suhaila Binhindi made the costumes and did the makeup, Abdullah Saleh wrote the song lyrics, Mohammed Al Mansouri made the sound effects, Yousef Al Dhahouri did the lighting and artist Ayman Al Khadeem was in charge of the administration.
