The theaters of the capital, Riyadh, return again to present their performances within the celebrations of the General Entertainment Authority (GEA) on the occasion of Eid Al-Fitr, through the activities and program of Eid 2023. GEA organizes a comedy play entitled “Room 13” and a stand-up comedy show entitled “The Elite” from 24 to 28 April. This is to provide a variety of entertainment options for citizens, residents and visitors to celebrate Eid.
Bakr Al-Shiddi Theater in Boulevard Riyadh City hosts “Room 13”, a social comedy that revolves around a man and woman who spend their honeymoon in a small hotel in Room 13 a year after the death of an elderly person with Alzheimer’s in the same room. The old man’s children had placed him in the hotel room with a nurse instead of placing him in a nursing home for fear of their relatives. However, after a few days, the old man dies but his spirit inhabits the room, and events begin in a social comic framework, with the newlyweds staying in the same room.
The play is starring Abdul Nasser Darwish, Sultan Al-Faraj, Hussein Al-Mahdi, Fatima Al-Abdullah, Hussein Al-Hashash, Manal Al-Jarallah, Areej Al-Attar, Wahid and Mai Hassan.

The idea of the improvisational Eid shows is to hold a fun and different comedy night. Two teams of professional actors participate in improvisation. The show consists of 6 different parts, and the audience indicates the part they would like to see. After that, the two teams start coordinating the course of the events in a professional and funny way, and the audience feel excited because the actors play different roles in each part and because the audience play a decisive role in determining the fate of each part.
