Product details

The play “The Confused Sultan” provides a model for the theater of political projection, by posing one of the most serious questions about the relationship between power and law.
By art alone, the sage declared that the Sultan's perplexity should cease by taking the side of the law and discarding the logic of the sword.
The events of the play go back to the Mamluk era in Egypt, when the Sultan discovers that the matter of his manumission is doubtful. Hence, his rule over Egypt is illegitimate.
And the judge’s fatwa comes with the necessity of selling the sultan in a public auction, and then setting the person who buys him free after that, which makes him a free human being and gives legitimacy to his rule. The Sultan resists the temptation to use force to remain in power and accepts the rule of law and remains at the disposal of the prostitute until the legal date stipulated in the purchase contract.. So what happened that night between the sultan and the prostitute?
What did she say, and what did he tell her?
This is revealed by the wonderful dialogue Hakim wrote in one of his best and most interesting plays of all time.
