Biography
Ahmed Abdallah, a scriptwriter born on April 1, 1965, in Bein Al-Sarayat, Cairo, graduated from Cairo University's Law School. During his college years, he dabbled in acting but primarily directed stage plays based on translated scripts. After graduating, he worked in theatre, producing plays such as "Alam Qetat" (World of Cats), "Alabanda" (Nonsense), and "Hakim Ouyoon" (The Eye Doctor). Over the past decade, Abdallah has written scripts for some of the most successful box office comedies, including Abboud Ala Elhodoud (Abboud on the Borders), Al-Nazer (The Headmaster), Ibn Ezz (Born to Money), Al-Lembi, Karkar, Askar fil Moaskar (Soldiers in the Camp), Yana Ya Khalti (Me or My Aunt), Foul Elseen Elazim (Great Beans of China), and Ghabi Mennu Feeh (Natural Born Imbecile).
In 2008, Abdallah explored a new direction by creating darker dramas like his film "Cabaret," which won several awards. Following this success, he chose to collaborate with the same cast for his next film, "Elfarrah" (The Wedding), and later for his debut TV series, "Elharah" (The Alley), released in 2010.
Beyond film and theater, this versatile writer has recently published his first poetry collection and has composed songs for some of his stage productions, including a piece for the late singer Zekra.
