Authors : دحامي يحيى صالح .

Abstract

Drama is one of the means of social enlightenment, and its presence positively affects the building of public awareness of the needs of society. The benefit of collective arts such as drama and theater is that they enhance the spirit of the community and perpetuate the concept of the need for others so that social cooperation is embodied in its best form. This investigation, as part of a series exploring Saudi drama and theater, makes an effort to shed light on the foundation of Saudi drama and its challenges and to provide a brief outline of its progress. An analytical-critical method is used in the analysis. After a brief introduction, the paper discusses significant literary issues such as the formation and growth of Saudi literature in general and theater in particular. The study moves to skim the nature of one of the Saudi plays as an example of Saudi drama as well as its dramatist. In this episode, the play is "The Doctor with the Manifold Stick" by Ibrahim Al-Hamdan. The study comes to a culmination with a brief discussion, some suggestions, and a conclusion.
