Description

A simple and inventive re-telling of the stories from the Arabian Nights. It is wedding night in the palace of King Shahrayar. By morning, the new Queen Shahrazad is to be put to death like all the young brides before her. But she has one gift that could save her - the gift of storytelling. With her mischievous imagination, the young Queen spins a dazzling array of tales and characters, including Ali Baba, Es-Sindibad the Sailor, and Princess Parizade. These adventurers find themselves in strange and magical worlds populated by giant beasts, talking birds, devilish ghouls, and crafty thieves. This revised edition was published alongside the Royal Shakespeare Company's production in 2009.
