'...theatre as its most unpretentiously poetic, most fetchingly stylish [and] as humane as it is elegant...'
NEW YORK MAGAZINE

An acclaimed adaptation weaving ancient tales of wonder into a rich and poetic testament to the transformational power of story-telling.

King Shahryar marries, loves, then kills a young woman every night - until he encounters Scheherezade. For one thousand and one nights, the King keeps her alive as he eagerly awaits her next nightly tale of love, lust, hilarity, or sorrow.

Adapted from 'The Book of The Thousand Nights and One Night'.
