Opis

The inevitable variations on the theme of National Dignity will forever call into question our definitions of the concept as well as the value we attach to it. At a critical point in Modern Egyptian History, Egyptian Dramatist Mahmoud El Lozy provides the fundamental Egyptian response to any attempt at jeopardising the increasingly valuable and threatened Egyptian National dignity. Samy Selims dissection of El Lozys epic trilogy shows us that, like all things Egyptian, even the playwright has limited control over the full weight of his creation. "We That Are Young" is indeed the encapsulation of the exemplary Egyptian revolutionary struggle against tyranny we see today.
