Fouad El-Mohandes' sketches open a four day theatre festival at El-Sawy Culturewheel
A four-day theatre festival at El Sawy Culturewheel opens with sketches from four different plays by the famed Egyptian comedy icon Fouad El-Mohandes.
Ramadan is always the appropriate time to start reviving national heritage. Egyptian Icons in cinema and history get their share of television series, and folk tales are always re-read and recaptured.
Along those lines, El-Sawy Culture Wheel hosted sketches of four of Fouad El-Mohandes’ plays directed by Barakat Zaky yesterday, as part of a four-day theatre festival.
The four plays included in the sketches were: El-Sekerteer El-Fanni (The Technical Advisor), Ana We Howa We Heya (Me, him and her), Ana Feen Wenty Feen (You’re out of my League) and Sayedaty El-Gameela (an Arabic adaptation of My Fair Lady).
Programme:
7 August: “Revolution of the Zyng”, Tyatro Theatre Group, directed by Mohamed Barakat
8 August: Ernst Toller’s “Hinkemann”, Ehsas Theatre Group, directed by Mohamed Abdallah
9 August: “The Tragedy of El-Hallag" written by Salah Abdel Sabour, performed by Que Theatre Group, directed by Ahmed Seif
All performances take place at Wisdom Hall of El-Sawy Culture Wheel, 26th July Street, Zamalek. Performances begin at 9:30pm.
