“Easy, O reliever of vulva, O high-ranking one, O one who opened the egg for the chick to come out. O my brothers, what happened to people?!
No one comes to take a bath and no one to perform ablution! Are people afraid for their race, or what?!”
Abu Al-Hassan owned a public bath in one of the humble Egyptian quarters, providing hygiene and bathing services to people for a few pennies, but the business was not profitable at all. Customers are few, and their money scarce; The owner of the bathroom does not find anything but the path of Satan to follow. Didn't many walk in it, so their financial conditions were corrected? Satan still whispers to him until he decides to be a false witness in the courts for some money. The events of the play continue in a comic form between him and his wife, Zainab. Destiny drives a naive village mayor, who came to Egypt for a reason, to the bathroom to take a bath. his exit.”
About the author Ibrahim Ramzi:
Ibrahim Ramzy: One of the most prominent pillars of modern Arab theater and one of its pioneers. Where his contributions had a profound impact on the renaissance of modern Arab play in Egypt. He was one of the first to try to establish new literary genres, as Dr. Abdel Hamid Younes says. He created the short story and contributed to the field of the historical novel.
Ibrahim Ramzy was born on October 6, 1884 AD, in the city of Mansoura, Dakahlia Governorate, where he received his primary education. He then moved to Cairo to obtain a baccalaureate degree from the Khedive Secondary School in 1906 AD. Then he traveled to Beirut to join the American University there. Ramzy obtained a diploma from the High School for Teachers in 1921 AD, and he also obtained a certificate in cooperation from the University of Manchester.
At the beginning of his career, Ibrahim Ramzi was appointed as a translator at the Civil Court of Khartoum, and in the meantime, he met Imam Muhammad Abduh, who greatly admired Ramzy's prowess in Arabic, and his passion and great knowledge of English literature. Ibrahim Ramzi returned to Cairo to work as a translator at Al-Liwaa newspaper, then moved on to work as editor-in-chief of the literary section of Al-Balagh newspaper. He also worked as an inspector of teachers' schools, and rose to be appointed secretary of the Higher Committee for Missions, and he remained in this position until he was retired in 1944 AD.
Ibrahim Ramzi left about fifty books between an author and a translator, whose forms and colors varied between historical plays and comedic social plays, as he raised many social and moral problems related to the Egyptian environment and dealt with them. Many of his plays were represented, such as “Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah” represented by “George Abyad” and directed by “Zaki Tulaimat” and the play “Heroes of Mansoura” represented by the “Abdul Rahman Rushdi” troupe, and other plays such as “Al-Badawiya” and “Bint Al-Ikhshid”. Ramzy’s creativity in the field of authorship is no less than his creativity in the field of translation, as he translated many masterpieces of world literature, including: “Caesar and Cleopatra” by Bernard Shaw, “King Lear” and “The Taming of the Shrew” by Shakespeare, and “The Enemy of the People” by Ibsen, and this The latter, in particular, was greatly influenced by Ramzi.
Ibrahim Ramzy died in March 1949 AD at the age of sixty-five, leaving behind a rich literary heritage that benefited the later generations.
