Ibrahim Shahin Replies to Criticism of The Courteous Prostitute
Although the play "The Virtuous Whore" has not yet been performed, actress Ilham Shaheen defended its presentation, pointing out that objections are focused solely on its title and not on its content. She clarified that the play is written by philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre and addresses humanitarian and social issues such as racism and discrimination, and that judging it based solely on its title overlooks its profound messages. In contrast, lawyer Ayman Mahfouz has filed a complaint against Ilham Shaheen, considering that the play's title and her statements insult Egyptian society and the parliament. He has called for an investigation and for her to be prevented from traveling, while the case remains under review.
