Objective: read and understand the main points of a factual text

Reading
1 Read the text about drama in the UAE. What two main types of drama are there?
Popular and intellectual

Emirati drama and theatrical performances really began in the 1950s, and Arab immigrants from the surrounding areas played an important role in their development. The present ruler of Sharjah, HH Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Aly Qasimi, was one of the first Emirati playwrights.
There are two main categories of Emirati drama. The first of these is popular drama, which is written in the Emirati dialect and is therefore difficult for non-Emiratis to understand. Most texts in this category are written as scripts and performed on stage to local audience.
The second category of drama could be described as ‘intellectual drama’: it explores a particular set of ideas or themes. Sheikh Sultan Al Qasimi, mentioned above, writes mainly historical plays and fiction. Most, if not all, of his writings have been translated into English and few other languages. Many of his plays have been performed on stage during the Sharjah Theatre Festival that takes place annually.
