Arabian Nights archiveA rip-roaring comedy! This production tramples raucously through the far-flung fables of the Arabian Nights in which Queen Scheherazade has delayed her execution by enthralling the king with stories. Day after day the executioner arrives and finds the King too captivated to be disturbed by his customary daily beheading of wives. Live music accompanies the rambunctious ensemble of five actors who take on a multitude of weird and wonderful characters. Amidst kings, princess, geniis, numerous talking animals and a flying horse, expect to see this classic saga innovatively retold. Prepare yourselves to be bombarded by imagination and battered with fantasy!
