“When he speaks with gravity, the crowd listens intently. When he is in a jovial mood, they respond with roars of laughter. I am confident that once again he will show us all why he is hailed as the most consequential orator of our times and why with decades going by, we are yet to see anyone come even closer to the hallmark of what he is all about,” added Ambika Vohra, one of the organizers.

Tickets are priced at AED 500 (VIP/Corporate), AED 250 (Regular) and AED 150 (Balcony) and can be bought at Madinat Jumeirah Box Office or Platinumlist.net.  For further information, please visit – www.facebook.com/PoeticStrokes
