Wiki.
Al Motazawegoon (المتزوجون, "The Married Couples") is an Egyptian play, conceived, produced and performed in the various theaters of Egypt. The cast included several yesteryear Egyptian theater icons such as Samir Ghanem and Sherin. The play received great adulation and praise from critics and audiences alike. It provided great relief to Egyptian audiences plagued by economic collapse and poverty. Fast forward to more than 30 years after its inception and performance, Al Motazawagezoon has gone on to become a cult comedy theatrical classic, and it has managed to attract and impact thousands of Arabs for its realistic portrayals of marital issues, class differentiation and the attitudes of Egyptian men and women of that particular time. The play was performed in the year 1978 and was credited with resurrecting Egyptian comedy theatre in an age of decline for both Egyptian theatre and film.
