stories we can gather around.
worlds you’ll dream about.
For a short while,
just a little bit,
a tiny sliver of time,
you’ll share in a magical world
that will vanish at Curtain.
And you’ll long to come back.06 Theatre is an independent theatre company founded in Sharjah (Area Code 06) in 2025 by a happy accident and fiercely independent artists. It is a quiet revolution in storytelling:
We’re bringing back rapture in an age of distraction, nuanced social commentary in a room of hollow echoes, and a sense of play to a morose world.
what’s on:
everyone’s talking about murder at the majlis.
Set in a private villa by Sharjah beach, the interactive murder mystery play follows Marwan, the owner of specialty cafe chain The Nine. His family is thriving. His business is booming. Until his Thursday evening majlis convenes — and he can't shake the feeling that something's.. not quite right.
The beloved original play is coming back in MAY 2026 at New Covent Garden Dubai.
HERE’S WHAT VIEWERS ARE SAYING:
A Surprising Plot
“An interactive Murder Mystery Play with a surprising plot + such amazing acting (ngl they were much better than half the on screen ones). I’d watch it again if I could.”
DEFINITE REWATCH MATERIAL
“If this was on Netflix, it would be definite rewatch material!”
Captivating from the start!
“Successfully pulls you in and makes you feel deeply involved!”

What we believe:
Dreams come true with the right people. Gathering isn’t enough; the conditions under which we gather matter. Good art pays and creates ripples. Work is challenging, not hard. It is possible to be fiercely independent and well-established.
What we’re doing:
We’re rewriting the unwritten guidelines of engagement, with the understanding that it transforms how we relate to one another.
We’re building independently with integrity. We only partner with people/institutions whose values we align with.
We’re building imitable infrastructure outside rigid unyielding boring systems of power.
