Tales of the Arabian Nights
by Barry Kornhauser
Step into a world of enchantment and intrigue in Tales of the Arabian Nights, where Scheherazade weaves spellbinding stories to stave off her fate. From daring heroes and heroines to cunning tricksters, her tales transport you to a realm of magical objects, astonishing transformations, and genies who grant wishes—or wreak havoc. As each story unfolds, the lines between reality and fantasy blur, captivating not only the sultan but the audience as well. Will Scheherazade’s storytelling save her life, or will the dawn bring an unhappy end to her thousand and one nights? Here ancient and enduring tales become magic carpets all their own, carrying messages that exalt life and celebrate the power and joy of story itself!
“Audiences of all ages will be spellbound by the story of Sheherezade, a young woman who must spin tales to calm the great Sultan’s wrath and restore peace to her land. Bringing together colorful costumes, life-like puppetry, and enduring lessons, the play will enchant children and adults alike.” ~ University of North Carolina Greensboro Newspaper"Zany...
