Overview

Daqqat Al-Sa'a (The Clock Turned) is a Kuwaiti stage play performed during the 1985–1986 theatrical season, centered on a bold and timely rejection of sectarianism and discrimination. The drama follows two university students — Jassem Al-Nabhan representing a Sunni background and Abdul Nasser Al-Zayer from a Shia background — whose experiences on campus expose the fault lines of sectarian division in society. Through the character of Abu Abdullah, the play articulates a vision of coexistence and equal citizenship that transcends religious labels. With its direct message against social prejudice, the production remains a significant work in Gulf theater, championing national unity and human dignity over divisive identity politics.
