About this audio guide
This guide to Al Bidda Park in Doha traces the Doha Players, the amateur theatre troupe a handful of British and Indian expatriates founded in 1954, when the city had no cinema or television to fill an evening. It follows the troupe's growth alongside Doha's population, through decades of Shakespeare, farce and pantomime staged at the Qatar National Theater still standing at the park's edge. Listen for the corniche traffic as you walk toward the theater's boxy 1982 facade.
