Renowned Egyptian director Khaled Galal and his big cast from the Artistic Creativity Centre will perform their successful play 'Cinema Masr' at the Cairo Opera House's Fountain Theatre on three successive nights starting Monday.

Khaled Galal is head of the Actor's Studio, operating under the Artistic Creativity Centre, which he also manages alongside heading the Cultural Production Affairs Sector.



Under Galal, during the past two decades, hundreds of actors enrolled at the Studio have graduated and entered the theatre and film scene, with its most successful play being Qahwa Sada (Black Coffee), which premiered in 2008 and whose cast have become some of the most popular and active actors in Egypt.



Amid strict safety measures, Egypt resumed cultural activities last month, with most performances to be held at outdoor venues.
