A simple and delightfully 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 a thousand young brides before her. But she has one
gift that could save her - the gift of storytelling. Can the young
Queen transport the vengeful King to the mystical land of her
stories? On her side she has a rich array of characters including
Ali Baba, Es-Sinbad the Sailor and Princess Parizade - adventurers
in strange and magical worlds populated by giant beasts, talking
birds and crafty thieves. Will her silver-tongued storytelling save
her life? This edition was published alongside the Young Vic's
production in 1998.
