Huda Hussein leads a cast that includes Mohammad Al-Ojaimi, Mais Kamar and Meshal Al-Shaye, with the Al-Salam folk troupe. It borrows the setting of a traditional Kuwaiti wedding and turns it into mystery, horror and comedy, with song and dance.

The renovation was carried out by Al-Salam First General Trading and Contracting, which won the National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters tender for the theatre.
