Egyptian actress Sherihan will make her stage return after a 20-year hiatus from cinema and theater by starring in a “Coco Chanel” play. Sherihan, 56, will portray world-famous fashion Coco Chanel, who had a humble beginning born in a poor family and was then sent to an orphanage following her mother’s death. The play, written by Medhat al-Adl, and directed by Hadi al-Bagouri, will be streamed on the Shahid VOD platform on July 20. Sherihan’s last work on stage was the “Sharea Mohammed Ali” (Mohamed Ali Street) play, starring Farid Shawqi and Hisham Selim. She had previously taken a break from acting after a car accident in the 90s had fractured her spine.
