Doha Players Theatre
In existence for 50 years, Doha Players continue to stage productions, undeterred by the suicide attack of 2005 in which one person was killed and several were wounded. This was an isolated incident, however, precipitated it would seem by widely shared anger at the Western fiasco in Iraq. It is trying to raise funds to rebuild its own theatre.

There is nothing to stop a male visitor sitting on a divan on the pavement or pulling up a chair in front of the TV inside this simple coffeehouse and smoking a sheesha with the locals. Women may not receive quite the same reception.
