Bahrain Theatre at Twelve
The play *The Twelfth Hour*, written by Abdullah Al-Saadooi and directed by Ibrahim Khalfan, was staged as part of the official program of the fifth Bahrain Theatre Festival. It follows two protagonists trapped in a suffocating room, waiting for an unidentified absent figure. The scene exposes the contrast between the ugliness of their reality and the beautiful image portrayed of the city. Critic Mahdi Salman said the play captures the alienation of people in the modern world. By leaving the absent figure’s identity ambiguous, he noted, the text invites audiences to interpret it as an authority, a social system, or a set of values—and allows for multiple readings.
