This chapter is a conversation between book editor Sonja Mejcher-Atassi and Mohammad Al Attar, one of the Arab world’s most celebrated younger playwrights. It is based on a talk Al Attar gave at the American University of Beirut in April 2015. In the conversation, Al Attar offers valuable insights into the significance of Sa’dallah Wannous’ plays and their legacy for a younger generation of playwrights in and from the Arab world. He shares his views about how Wannous’ language, style of writing, and ideas on the politicization of theatre impacted him as a student at the Higher Institute of Dramatic Arts in Damascus and later as a renowned playwright. Al Attar also attempts to read Wannous’ influence on the political, cultural, and literary scene of the 2011 Arab uprisings, especially the Syrian revolution.
