The Kuwaiti play "Al-Boushiyyah" won as the best theatrical show during Jordan's Free Theatre Festival that ended late on Thursday. Al-Boshiyyah, meaning the veil covering the face, depicts Kuwaiti tradition and tackles thorny social issues such as class classification. The script presents a society that unites against an "outsider" who in fact is a descendant of a "true member" of that same society. The Kuwaiti work was chosen as the number-one from among contesting plays of troupes from Tunisia, Palestine, Libya, Jordan, Holland and Austria.
