Urban Theater from historial and artistic perspectives This research paper sheds light on Almadinah Almunawarah City Theatre, whether the play was written for page or for stage.

It also attempts to operationalise mechanisms and methods of literary criticism available in its product during successive periods, noting that urban theater suffered and continues to suffer from the lack of scientific studies about it although there are works worthy of investigation in this vital area of culture, literature and art.

All these factors have played a role in the completion of this study.

This study of urban theater is mainly concerned with historical and artistic tracks.

It is based on the assumption that the general theatrical experience includes both historical and artistic presences, and this study approximates this theatrical history done in the space of Almadinah Almunawarah, as well as its technical levels through the plays done by its playwrights by asking the following question: Did the theatre in Almadinah Almunawarah achieve a historical or an artistic value during its life? Which of them was more prominent in the course of its experience? A set of theatrical experiments performed by the Dramatists in Almadinah Almunawarah over successive periods, and across convergent generations, and in social, cultural and political frameworks, as well as the opportunity to talk about an overlooked theatrical work despite of all the efforts made have made the present writer to carry out this research.

The works of the urban playwright Ahmed Eid Aburabeah is an exemplary who has contributed to the delivery of Urban Theater to a wider audience, has achieved numerous awards and has recorded a significant presence in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and popular theatrical forums.
