* Alfred Farag (14 June 1929 in Zagazig, Egypt – 4 December 2005) was one of the most influential Egyptian playwrights of the post-1952 Revolution period. * In 1949, he earned his BA in English Literature from the Faculty of Arts, Alexandria University. * He started a teaching career in 1955 before he resigned as a literary critic in the newspaper. * He worked at several media companies, including "Rose El Yousef," "El Tahrir," and "Al Gomhouriya." * Farag was involved in the establishment of the public administration for the "mass culture" initiative and the establishment of artistic organizations in Egypt. * He was also instrumental in the emergence of theatre in Egypt's provinces. * He and other well-known writers, including Noaman Ashour, Saad Eddin Wahba, Michael Roman, Rashad Roushdy, and Yousef Edson, all contributed to the theatre's "nothing like" revival in the sixties. At the age of 26, Alfred Farag wrote his first play, "Fall of Pharaoh" (1957). He began as a writer, but later in life, he began to write. He wrote approximately 52 plays, including: "The Barber of Baghdad" (1964), "Sulayman Al-Halabi" (1965), "Atwa with the Jack-Knife" (1993), in addition to several one-act plays such as "Voice of Egypt" (1956) and "The Trap" (1965). * In his plays, he addresses topics such as national independence in "The Epistles of Seville" (1987) and the Palestinian issue in "Fire and Olives" (1970). * Some of his works were translated into German and English, such as "Ali Janah Al - Tabrizi and his Servant Quffa" (1969), or "Marriage on a Divorce Notification" (1973). * In addition to being a playwright, he wrote books including "The Story of the Lost Time" (1977) and "The Days and Nights of Sindbad" (1988) and short stories. He eloquently mixed the Egyptian Colloquial Arabic with the Standard Arabic, making his writings unique and easy to comprehend. * Critics became involved with Farag's dramatic language, which was both vivid and far from his predecessors' formal style. * He believed that the language should play a "visual" representation of the text. What separated him from others was that he revived the old heritage on stage as if it was true, and that he used roots rather than becoming superficial. * Multiple international, Arab, and Egyptian awards and medals have been given to Farag. * The first Egyptian intellectual to be recognised with such an award was "Jerusalem" by the GM for Arab Writers. * In 1965, he received the National Award for Play Writing, as well as the Science and Arts Medal of the first order in 1967. Farag died in the St Mary's Hospital, London, at the age of 76, as a result of long-term illness. He was buried in Cairo.
