Saudi actress Mariam Al-Ghamdi produces and directs play

“I love to write and direct since my early childhood. I wrote a play when I was only 12 years old,” she said, adding, that she has written, produced and directed a play, exclusively for females, which is currently being shown at Dar Al-Olaya girl school. She said the play is called “The Miserly and the Failure” and is a comedy that discusses a number of social issues. She said actress Laila Al-Samman was playing the leading role along with other gifted young Saudi actresses. She said the play is about a female Saudi wedding singer (Taqtaqa) who is also doing three other jobs, and her experiences in life provide for many comical interludes.
