Syrian student "Twelfth Night" production
Amid everything happening in Syria, students at the Higher Institute for Dramatic Arts put on a production of Twelfth Night (of all things) earlier this month. `Ajaj Salim directed.
From the few pictures available it does not look like political allusions were the order of the day. Too bad: one could have a lot of fun with Malvolio.
The show then traveled to Sharjah, where it received warm reviews in Al-Bayan and Al-Ittihad (both in Arabic). Here's the press release with more background info.
