Fakhamat Al Rayyes at Gemmayzeh Theater

This comedy was originally written and directed in 1988 by Jalal Khoury. Now it’s being re-staged by the author in March 2015 with a new cast featuring Assaad Haddad, Charbel Ziade, Bachir Maroun, Sola Track and Nadine Nehme.

“Fakhamat al-Raïs” (Mister President) is widely inspired by the presidential campaign. A plot à la Jalal Khoury, conceived as an anthology work with a Machiavellian journalist, a Shakespearian wife, a Molièresque candidate and absurd stage direction.
In this bourgeois interior, the actors form around Philippe Akiki, the star candidate.
