KARN Warrior Delivers A Powerful, Immersive Theatre Experience At Theatre By QE2

The live theatre production KARN Warrior took the stage on 15th February 2026 at Theatre by QE2, offering audiences a visually striking and emotionally charged retelling inspired by the journey of the legendary warrior Karna.

Produced by ANT Management and written and directed by Alex Broun, the show combined live action, original music, choreography, and large-scale LED visuals to create a fully immersive theatrical experience. The production’s dynamic lighting and cinematic screen design transformed the stage, drawing the audience into each moment of the story and elevating the emotional intensity of the performance.

One of the most inspiring moments behind the scenes came on the very day of the show. Rochelle Goodrick, the production’s 50-year-old lead performer, sustained a foot injury during rehearsals. Despite the pain and the physical challenge, she chose to go on stage and perform, delivering a powerful and heartfelt performance that was met with warm applause and admiration from the audience.

Featuring performances by Anita Nayyar, Gillian Rhodes, and Rochelle Goodrick, KARN Warrior explored themes of loyalty, destiny, courage, and personal sacrifice. The show attracted a diverse audience of producers, directors, stylists, photographers, influencers, and media professionals, turning the evening into both a cultural showcase and a creative networking platform.

With its blend of dramatic storytelling, live music, choreography, stunt work, and immersive visual design, KARN Warrior offered a memorable theatrical experience on one of Dubai’s most iconic venues.
