GIVE US OUR MONEY BACK
by No'man 'Ashur
A play in three acts
Translated by Mahmoud El Lozy

Following its 1958 production at the National Theatre, this biting satire of the cinema industry by Egypt's foremost writer of social drama, provoked uproar in cinematic circles and a prominent film director demanded that its author be put on trial. The play attempts to illustrate the mercantile and artistically debilitated condition of the Egyptian cinema in the fifties, addressing issues still relevant today.
