Menna Shalaby Returns to Jeddah with Play 'Shams wa Qamar' This Eid

Menna Shalaby is returning to the stage in Jeddah with the comedy play Shams wa Qamar on the third day of Eid al-Fitr. The performance will take place on the Arab Theater stage, marking the play’s comeback after its initial run during the Riyadh Season events last November.

Shams wa Qamar follows a comedic storyline centered on a girl named Qamar who takes advantage of her resemblance to a famous actress on TikTok. Her deception leads to the accidental kidnapping of the real actress, setting off a series of comedic adventures.

The play features an ensemble cast including Bayoumi Fouad, Mahmoud El-Leithy, Mohamed Abdel-Azim, and Donia Sami.

In addition to her theatrical work, Menna Shalaby is involved in two upcoming film projects. One is Al-Salam wa Al-Tabban 2, where she stars alongside Amr Youssef under the direction of Tarek El-Erian. The other is a sequel to Hepta: The Last Debate, directed by Hadi El-Bagoury.
