Audition for Julius Caesar
If you fancy yourself to be Broadway’s next up and coming actor make your way to Alserkal Avenue and audition to be part of Shakespeare’s beloved play, Julius Caesar. Directed by stage veteran and full-time financial analyst Arjun Burman, the story follows the political conspiracy against Roman leader Julius Caesar as well as the events surrounding and following his assassination. There are 25 spots available including the lead, so make sure you practice those vowels and perhaps come in costume (not really, but it might even the odds).
When: 26-27 May
Where: The Junction Unit H72, Alserkal Avenue, St. 8, Al Quoz

Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge (18)
Johnny Depp is probably in need of some friendly territory right now. After recent spats with dogs, Australian customs, Amber Heard’s lawyers and an army of film critics, dressing up like an 18th century Keith Richards and cavorting around a large galleon for a fifth time is probably as good a respite as any – and no doubt Pirates of the Caribbean: Salazar’s Revenge will pay a few bills, too.
Depp might have tried some leading man roles of late – Public Enemies, Black Mass – but he’s most at home in technicolour capers, where he is able to shed any pretence of reality and create something that isn’t so much a character as a three-dimensional catchphrase, a cartoon around which everyone else can circle. Much like Scooby Doo, he’s best when he’s providing all a film’s laughs and most of its heart.
Captain Jack Sparrow has fulfilled this brief throughout the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise and he does so again here as he tries to avoid old nemesis, Armando Salazar (Javier Bardem) and his Spanish Navy ghost crew. It puts him on the hunt for the Trident of Poseidon, which will grant the possessor total control of the seas. Or something. The umbilical cord to the previous films in the series is provided by newcomer Henry (Brenton Thwaites), a British navy shipmate who we learn is the son of Will and Elizabeth Swann (Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley respectively). In addition to escaping the ghost crew, he has to free his father from the clutches of the Flying Dutchman and is helped along the way by Carina (Maze Runner’s Kaya Scodelario). All good fun.
In cinemas from May 25
