Veteran Egyptian actress Laila Elwy's comedy "Moshira Al Khatira" will be staged from December 18-22 at Mohammed Alali Theater in Boulevard Riyadh City.
The cast also stars Nour Ehab, Eman El-Sayed, Soliman Eid, Bayoumi Fouad, and more.
The play hails from director Ahmed El Gendy and is set to debut within the activities of the 5th edition of the Riyadh Season in Saudi Arabia.
In January 2023, Elwy made her last theatrical appearance in the play "Al Sandok Al Ahmar" (The Red Box), staged at the Riyadh season, in Saudi Arabia.
The play marked Elwy's comeback to the stage after 27 years of absence. She made her last theatrical performance in the 1996 play "Al Jamila W Al Wehshen".
The play's official synopsis reads: "After her release from prison, professional antiquities thief Mushira plans to recover a pharaonic statue she had buried in an abandoned land before her arrest. But to her surprise, the land is now a high school, so she is forced to pretend to be a history teacher. What will happen when her secret mission interferes with her new life?".
