PLAYS BY YOUNG DIRECTORS
“The Jewish Wife”
When hatred creeps into the daily life of people, and is fueled by the racist propaganda machine, fear grows slowly and everyone is complicit … We see “Yehudit Kate” packing her bags and preparing to leave in the hope that her husband “Fritz” stops her but he does not, he claims that she needs fresh air and can return in within weeks, he knows and she knows, and we know that it will only be a few weeks when he hands it over to the fur coat that she will only need next winter.
The Jewish wife’s play is one of Bertolt Brecht’s short plays in a series of other plays that constitute “The Misery and Horror of the Third Reich” that talks about life in the early years of Hitler’s rule of Germany.

“Saeed & Saeedeh”
It is a play aimed at highlighting the fears and challenges experienced by a young man and girl at the beginning of their married life. On the first night of their wedding, and in the first minutes of their lawful absence, they live in fear of the following, which leads each of them to lay down conditions for the other about their lifestyle together and their future.
Will each of them change their living system in order to live with the other? Will they have children? And if they give birth, what is their fate in light of everything that happens around them? Will they have children to die in an artillery strike in the city? Or to be displaced to neighboring countries that will not receive them? Will they be lost between home and refuge? Or does the lack of childbearing in the first place and keeping our children in the darkness and warmth of the womb protect them from the misery of the life that awaits them?
All these and other questions revolve in our heads and we are thinking of them in reality, and not only in the imagination of the Iraqi writer Ali Abdul Nabi Al-Zaidi in his satirical comic text “Happy and Happy.”
