A play titled Atab El-Beyoot (Thresholds of Homes), will be performed at Teatro Eskenderia for four days starting on 17 March.

The play is a dramatic presentation of stories gathered from Upper Egypt, and is a production of El-Masrah El-Badeel troupe (Alternative theatre troupe), written and directed by Mahmoud Abu Doma.

Atab El-Beyoot stars Awatef Ibrahim, Khaled Raafat, Mohamed El-Hagrassy, Sara El-Hawary and Abeer Aly.

Teatro is a cultural cafe and restaurant that hosts an array of culture programmes, including open mic nights, open jams, film screenings, workshops and concerts for independent musicians.

The space founded in 2012 is the brain child of founding member Mahmoud Abu Doma, a creative director who funded numerous cultural/development initiatives in Alexandria (his home town), such as Lazem Masrah (Theatre is a must) and the Mediterranean Forum for Independent Theatre Troupes.

In late 2014, the space expanded to include a branch in Cairo; Teatro El-Maadi.

Programme:
The play opens on 17 March and runs until 20 March, at 8pm
Teatro Eskenderia, 25 Fouad Street, Alexandria
