Hilarious satire on rich arabs in London
pendolino7 May 2023
A comedic social commentary on rich arabs that go to london to indulge their vices away from their family's watch.

The protagonist is played by Hussin Abdulreda - arguably Kuwait and the Gulf's greatest acting talent. His ability to engage with his brilliant quips and mannerisms keeps you wanting more.

An of the gulf Arab dialect would be helpful when watching this but not a prerequisite at all.

This play apparently caused a diplomatic incident with the Saudis who objected to the traditional Arab 'friend' that Mr. Friday meets in his London hotel. I'm pretty sure it was at least banned there when it was released.
