The Man Who Got His Wife Married is an Egyptian comedy stage play built around a darkly humorous framing device: the protagonist Safwat El-Sherbiny rises from the grave to recount his tragic story to a bewildered night watchman. In life, Safwat endured relentless mistreatment at the hands of his boss, who simultaneously tried every trick in the book to seduce Safwat's beautiful wife. The play mines the absurdity of workplace power dynamics and marital betrayal for sharp comic effect, delivering the kind of crowd-pleasing social satire that Egyptian popular theatre is known for.
