Keep Your Daughters Locked In

Keep Your Daughters Locked In (Arabic: سك على بناتك, romanized: Sukk 'Ala Banatak) is a popular Egyptian play that debuted in 1980.

It is notable for its humorous take on family dynamics and social issues in Arabic societies, delivered through a blend of wit and slapstick comedy.

Meanwhile, his youngest daughter Soso (played by Sherihan) accidentally discovers his intention and that he loves a girl called Esmat, leading to a series of complications.

It received widespread acclaim and became an integral part of (Eid) holiday traditions in Arab countries, with many families watching it as a festive ritual.

As events unfold, Dr. Raafat's attempts to control his daughters' lives and marry them off to high-ranking individuals lead to a series of humorous misunderstandings and chaotic situations, highlighting the generational gap and the evolving roles of women in society.

"[10] Sukk on Your Daughters was produced during a vibrant period for Egyptian theatre, with many plays addressing contemporary social issues through humor.

The stick used by Fouad el-Mohandes to hit Sanaa Younis in the play was hollow to produce a loud sound without causing injury.

However, after Abbas withdrew from the production, Fouad el-Mohandes assigned the role to Muhammad Abu Al-Hassan, who had previously appeared in the play as the head of the waitstaff in the opening scene.
