Al Fadel Saeed

Fadel Saeed (Arabic: الفاضل سعيد; 1935 – 10 June 2005) was a Sudanese comedian. El-Fadel Said Dirar Silntout was born in 1935 and grew up in a religious environment in the Ghaddar village near Dongola, the capital of the Northern State. His father is Saeed Salantoud, and his mother is Fatima Muhammad Salentoud. His father did not know the Arabic language and speaks the Nubian language, and his mother did not know the Nubian language, but she is fluent in the Arabic language. In the face of this discrepancy, Al-Fadil Saeed found himself within the framework of a combination that gave him mental and educational wealth. His grandmother raised him in Omdurman, and he was imbued with the culture of Omdurman and the Bayt al-Mal neighbourhood. The family includes those who came with Muhammad Ahmad al-Mahdi to Omdurman, including those who were martyred in the Battle of Shaykan. The climates he lived in were free to attract and pull him, as he did not discover the queen of acting except when he had the opportunity when the family moved from the Bayt al-Mal neighbourhood to Wad Nubawi in Omdurman. And his joining the scouts, which is a family activity, was the credit for showing his talent. The scout troupe was sponsored by Abd al-Rahman al-Mahdi. It gave him the opportunity to participate in acting as its youngest member. And the first thing he presented was his transformation of the Scout Law into a drama with the participation of his peers, and they improvised the acting. During the break during the activity, he used to prepare and prepare for the other breaks, which enabled him to practice on the improvisational side. This was his first step towards composing and acting. In elementary school, he found a follower of Professor Khaled Abu Al-Rous, who taught him arithmetic, and watched him with the Sudan Acting Troupe. Al-Fadil wished to become like him. But he stood in his way while he was presenting with the students at the school the Malayat Theatre, where he said to him: O my son, I do not want you to act now.. If you act now, you will not learn, and we need an educated actor. After joining the Egyptian Secondary School (Educational Mission Schools), the teachers used to transfer the plays of Naguib Al-Rayhani, which deepened his sense of the importance of the theatre and he decided to be theatrical.
