It is noteworthy that this play was originally called “The Weather Forecast at Casino Neetsalaf”, where the last word refers to “Falasteen (Palestine)”, but in reverse, and its name was later shortened. However, this show was presented on the sidelines of the "Palestinian Theater and Folklore" festival in August 1973 and lasted for a whole month.
