Dr. Maisah Sobaihi (photo: Vimeo)
"Head Over Heels in Saudi Arabia" is a one-woman comedy show written and performed by Dr. Maisah Sobaihi, exploring the lives and loves of Saudi women with humor and insight.  I had the pleasure of seeing this delightful show and writing about it several years ago in 2008.  For my review and synopsis of the play, please click HERE.  Since that time, Sobaihi has repeated her performance many times, and this week she is doing it again.

    The show had to be GREAT! What a beautiful and talented woman. Has she lived in the US? Her English is so like ours. Thanks for sharing.

      Yes, Lori - Maisah grew up in California, the daughter of Saudi parents. She's spent a lot of time in the states.

    Do you know if she has ever written anything about adjustments that had to be made when she came to live in Saudi Arabia?

      Jerry - I would imagine that she and her family traveled frequently enough back to KSA while she was growing up, so she seems to feel just as at home here as in the states. I'll try to remember to ask her your question when I see her though.
