| DSF Office and Al Futtaim Group announce the Lexus Mega Raffle
Ibrahim Saleh, Chief Operating Officer of DSF explained that the 2008 Lexus Mega Raffle would be a special edition in terms of the excitement and the value of prizes. 'While two brand new Lexus ES 350 and RX 350 models would be given daily to one winner, the same winner would have the chance to take home 100,000 in cash but in a currency he or she would pick through another draw.' 'There will be 32 currencies to pick from - ranging between the Pound Sterling, US Dollar, and the Euro, to the Turkish Lira, Argentinean Pesos and the Iranian Tomman, among other international currencies. The winner might thus take home a cash prize of the equivalent of Dhs400 or even Dhs750,000,' added Saleh. The details of the raffle were announced through a press conference that was held at the Lexus showroom at Dubai Festival City, a flagship project of the Al Futtaim Group.
Theater Reviews
Krausen's Desdemona seems modern somehow, not nearly so willing to kowtow to the Moor as we may recall from early readings. This is good. The biggest misstep of the otherwise ravishing production is the way Desdemona and Othello get so ridiculously high-strung in their final moments. I mean, you expect anyone who is about to be strangled to go a little dingy, but Krausen plays it in the style of a '30s Hollywood movie star —- rolling around on the bed and kind of begging for it. The scene has "erotic potential" written all over it, but in the end, it's not that hot. Though the Klimchak score is a little too "Exorcist"-like —- paranoid whisperings and bat-crazy blips —- Murphy's idea of putting all the action upfront on those three big beds is to die for. As dramaturg Sister Smith says so astutely in her notes, "Once a person is trapped in a downspiral of jealousy, voyeurism makes him an outsider, an audience, to his own marriage and desires." And Dirden's radical adaptation makes good sense and ought to be explored further, produced elsewhere.
