His Highness’s plays, translated into French, are required in theatre as a cultural and scientific experience, rich in connotations, especially since His Highness's theatrical works tend towards epic drama dealing with historical events, political and intellectual commentaries.

French is the language of theatre, cinema, visual arts and architecture. It is also the language of the world philosophers of “Enlightenment”. Writing or translating into French allows readers in Europe and the world to access the works of Arab writers and intellectuals.
