I was just watching mohamed sobhy's "seket el salama" and I was thinking how great this man is. i've been a fan of this great man for years, and i have watched most of his plays. I just love his amazing sense of humour, and how he uses it discuss some very important issues.
Does anyone here also love mohamed sobhy? and if you do, what are your favourite plays?
here's some info about him from msnarabia
Mohamed Sobhy
The famous Egyptian actor, Mohamed Sobhy, has always been famous for his unique acting talent, especially on stage. Born on 1 March, 1948, in an area close to Mohamed Aly Street, Sobhy was inspired by the cinemas and theatres that were present at that time. Since he first joined the acting team at his school, he became well known for his special talent in imitating famous Egyptian actors, including Youssef Wahby and Ahmed El Haddad. Consequently, he was motivated to work in the entertainment broadcasting show Sa'aa Lee Albak, where he used to imitate various Egyptian celebrities.
Graduating from the Art of Theatre Institute, Sobhy got the chance to perform the play Hamlet for his final exam, which showed his unique acting talent and paved the way for his success.
Sobhy then started taking secondary roles in several plays, when he first worked with famous actors like Fouad El Mohandes and Mohamed Youssef. Although Sobhy's performance in each of those plays didn't exceed five minutes on stage, yet he was able to impress the audience, due to his unique acting performance.
At 1975, Sobhy was finally able to prove himself, when he took the leading role in the play Entaha El Dars Ya Ghaby, in which he acted as a mentally retarded patient that was treated by his doctor, featured by the great actor Mahmoud El Meleegy. That play, that was written by Linen El Ramly and directed by El Sayed Rady, was highly appreciated by many critics.
Later on, Sobhy had finally succeeded to play an important role in the movie El Karnak, along with the great actress Soad Hosny. That political film was a major turning point in Sobhy's career, as it portrayed some of the government's corruption that was actually present during Nasser's era of presidency.
Throughout Sobhy's acting career, he always tends to perform meaningful plays, and presents them in a simple and funny way that draws his audience's attention. Not only did Sobhy prove himself as a great actor, but also as a brilliant director. He directed the play Bel Araby El Faseeh, which portrayed the conflicts among Arab countries in the Middle East. He introduced new, young actors who first performed in that play. One of the casting crew was Mona Zaky, who has become one of the most popular stars in Egypt.
Watching plays like El Hamagy, Weghet Nazar, and Mama America, would let you realize that the strong will, ambition, and the power of determination are the traits that helped Sobhy become one of the most popular stars in Middle East, and that's why he is worth all of our respect and appreciation.

Don't remember the name of this one. But I know it sucked big time and I didn't like it at all. That's what's weird about this guy. Sometimes he makes some of the weirdest works (most of his movies are really lame). But most of his plays are the best that I've seen in Egyptian theatre.
