About Sahriye
In this 1973 theatrical production, written by Ziad Rahbani and directed by Nicholas Abu Samah, the story unfolds in a humble Lebanese village café in search of a new singer. Set entirely within Ahwet Nakhlet el Tineen (Dragon Palm Café), run by the proud owner and performer Nakhle, the play follows his quest to replace himself as the café's main attraction. After a failed audition process, a talented newcomer (Marwan Mahfouz) arrives with a captivating voice. Fearing his daughter Yasmeen's (Georgette Sayegh) growing affection for the young singer, Nakhle initially refuses to let him perform—until a change of heart alters the course of all their lives. The play is celebrated for its iconic musical numbers, including classics like "Ya Bint El Ma'awan" and "Nattarni."
Directed by Nicolas Abou Samah, Sahriye leans on a strong ensemble — Joseph Sakr, Georgette Sayegh, Marwan Mahfouz — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1973.
