‘Masrah Al-Saudia’ (Saudi Theatre) will launch its first two performance titled ‘Dunya Al-Alaab’ (A world of Toys) and ‘Mamnu Dokhool Al-Sittat (Women Not Allowed) on April 5 at the Sharbatly Theater, Jedda, in an experience parodying the wildly popular Egyptian show ‘Masrah Masr’ (Egypt’s Theater). The Masrah Al Saudia crew was trained and supervised by Masrah Masr star Ashraf Abdel Baki, and is funded by Prince Abdullah Bin Badr, vice-prince of Mecca, as well as the Ministry of Culture and Media. The show comes at a time where Saudi Arabia is witnessing greater individual freedoms under Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed Bin Salman. This is not the first cooperation between Abdel Baki and #Sabbah. The two worked together before on 10 seasons of the sitcom ‘Ragel wa 6 Settat’ (A Man and Six Women), as well four seasons of Masrah Masr.
