Lebanese director Rahbani's modern Arabic interpretation of Don Quixote
The Lebanese director Marwan Rahbani would feel he had failed as a dramatist if someone left the theatre after watching one of his productions having had a "nice time".

Guaranteed to get a reaction is his modern Arabic interpretation of Miguel de Cervantes's literary masterpiece Don Quixote, which has been given top billing at the Byblos International Festival in Lebanon this month. Record numbers are expected at the annual event, which boasts this year an international lineup of acts including Moby, Jamie Cullum and the Scorpions.
Despite his current commutes between filming commitments in Dubai and rehearsals in Beirut, the energetic 53-year-old jumps up to greet me in his expansive book-lined Al Quoz office, exhibiting no symptoms of travel fatigue.
"I don't sleep a lot and I'm extremely demanding of my creative and technical teams. But I love what I do and you will never find a Rahbani who is not in the arts. There are no doctors, lawyers or engineers in this family!" he grins.
