Abdulhussain Abdulredha (Arabic: عبد الحسين عبد الرضا, romanized: ʿAbd al-Ḥussain ʿAbd ar-Riḍā; 15 July 1939[1][2] – 11 August 2017) was an iconic Kuwaiti actor.

Background

Abdulredha was born in Derwazat Al Abdulrazzaq, Al-Awazem village in Sharq, Kuwait, to Kuwaiti Ajam parents, the seventh among 14 siblings. He initially worked in the Department of Printing of the Kuwaiti Ministry of Guidance and Information. He then traveled on a mission to Egypt at the expense of the ministry in 1956 to learn the art of printmaking, and in 1961 he traveled on a mission to Germany to complete his studies in the printmaking arts.[2] He continued this job until he reached the position of observer in the Printing Section of the Ministry of Information.[1] He married four wives[3] and has three daughters and two sons, among them Bashar and Adnan, who works in the technical field and has attempted to write poetry and the preparation of TV programs,[2] as well as Mona, Bebe, and Manal. He was a Shia Muslim.

Assassination attempt

After the liberation of Kuwait, the art scene saw a lot of drama about the invasion. Abdulredha presented a play called Sword of the Arabs in 1992, addressing the period of the invasion. He survived an assassination attempt on his way to one of the performances by suspected Iraqi mukhabarat.[4]

Death

On 11 August 2017, Abdulredha died of heart attack in the Royal Brompton Hospital in London; aged 78. His funeral was held in the afternoon of August 16, 2017, in Kuwait.[5] He died in a city that he used as a name to one of his most popular comedies called "Bye Bye London", which was about Kuwaiti people that travel to London and try to settle there.
