A bold and provocative play tackling domestic violence and women’s rights in Bahrain has premiered, commemorating the pearl jubilee of one of Bahrain’s oldest theatres. Tears were shed in the audience as ‘Harakiri,’ an original Bahraini show portraying sensitive issues and shedding light on hidden victims, took to the 30-year-old theatre’s stage this week.

Head of Al-Sawari Theater, Hussain Al-Arabi, revealed to "Al-Bilad" that the theater is preparing to celebrate its 30th anniversary coinciding with the celebration of World Theater Day in March. This will be marked by organizing a major event that will include many activities under the sponsorship of the Bahrain Authority for Culture and Antiquities.
