Syrian actor Adnan Abu Al-Shamat criticized the performances of the actors in the series "Bride of Beirut," which was filmed in Turkey and features actors from several Arab countries.
He stated, "Bride of Beirut is a school in overacting, with excellent exceptions, perhaps because the Turkish director does not understand what is happening?!" The series, which consists of two parts, stars Dhafer L'Abidine, Carmen Bsaibes, Talaa Chemouni, Joe Trad, Mohamed Ahmad, Maram Ali, Alaa Al-Zoubi, Douha Al-Debis, Lina Hawarna, Mai Saigh, and others. The first part was written by Bilal Shahadat and Nadine Jaber and directed by Turkish director Emre Kabakuşak, while the second part was written by Tarek Suwaid and directed by Lebanese director Fikret Qadi.
