'Cinema Masr' play to stage on New Year’s Eve

CAIRO - 24 December 2019: Director Khaled Galal decided to re-stage his play “Cinema Masr” on New Year’s Eve at 8 p.m., celebrating with the cast the launch of the play a year ago.

The play will stage in the Artistic Creativity Center Theatre every day except Wednesdays for a new season.

It is worth mentioning that Galal had suspended the play because of his preoccupation with directing the new play "El-Mohakma” (The Trial), which he presented before President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi in the last World Youth Forum. During the forum, the president honored Galal.

"Cinema Masr" is the graduation play for the graduates of the second batch of the Acting Department at the Artistic Creativity Center, in which Galal depicts the cinematic history in Egypt through different scenes from the Egyptian masterpieces. These scenes are presented by young artists with multiple talents in acting, singing, dancing and all performing arts.

The play is the vision of Khaled Galal; the play's poems are written by Imad Abdel Mohsen, and music is composed by Manar el-Shazly and is executively directed by Ola Fahmy. "Cinema Masr" is produced by the Cultural Development Fund.

“Cinema Masr” is starring Iman Ghoneim, Ghada Talaat, Amr Kamal, Badir, Basma Maher, Rabab al-Qa’id, Rabia Rafia, Maya Maher, Reham el-Shanawani, Shaima Abbas, Mohammad Abdo, Hala Marzouq, Ahmed Fawzi, Marwa Eid, Baher al-Nweihi, Norhan el-Marhoumi, and Nehal Fahmy, among others.
