In the play The House is Haunted, a man buys a house with a history for a great price. He moves there with his two adult children during the day and his new Lebanese wife joins them that night. All he wants is to consummate his marriage, but his children and a spectral presence in the house get in his way. Though, all may not be as it seems.

The play deals in a social comic framework, the period of the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, and what was experienced by Kuwaitis and Iraqis alike during the aggression period, through the social changes that occurred in both societies in that period.

The play deals with the post-liberation stage of Kuwait from the Iraqi invasion, highlighting the political, economic and social issues and problems that came after liberation in a satirical comedy mold.
