The comedic play "Khayal Mareed" (Sick Imagination) will be performing a limited engagement at the Drama Theater in the Arts and Culture City of the New Administrative Capital. This upcoming run will take place on September 24-25 and October 1-2, coming after a sold-out summer season. The move marks a significant cultural expansion for the New Capital, as it evolves from a strictly administrative hub to a regional hub for live arts and entertainment.

Hesham Maged stars in the lead role of a psychiatrist named Dr. Taha, whose creative methods with patients lead to a cascade of comedic misunderstandings. The production also features a strong ensemble cast, comprising Mohamed Abdel-Rahman, Hanady Mehanna, Ahmed El-Rafei, Dina Diab, Nagham Saleh, Mohsen Mansour, Waleed Abdel-Ghani, Reham Ezzat, and Nora Soliman.

"Khayal Mareed" is the brainchild of playwright and director Mohamed Hamdy, who penned the script and helmed the production. The play is brought to life by Fikr Production Company, under the leadership of Yara Hassan. This announcement signifies a positive step in the cultural evolution of the New Capital, which aims to become a significant destination for live arts and entertainment in the region.
