Egyptian actress Hala Sedki expressed her happiness with the success of her play "Sawabi' Zainab", which was presented during the Riyadh season in Saudi Arabia. Speaking on a TV show, Sedki said that she had not presented theater for years and was worried because of the level of her colleagues' performances, but she was happy with the audience's reaction to her play. She hoped to show the play again but did not have any plans. Sedki also praised the Saudi Entertainment Authority for being interested in all forms of arts and bringing performers from all over the world, saying that Egypt is the pioneering country in the Arab region and people there appreciate Egyptian artists. Sedki added that she did not make the play only for Saudi citizens, but for all the citizens in the region. Sedki also commented on the news that a bridge in Cairo was named after her, saying that it is a great honor for her. She also announced that she will not participate in the upcoming Ramadan season. The play "Sawabi' Zainab" features a cast of Egyptian and Arab stars, including Amr Abdel Gelil, Mohamed Tharwat, Menna Fadali, Jehan El-Shamshargy, and others.
