Overview
The Arabian Nights
mesmerizing theatricality
THE ARABIAN NIGHTS
written and directed by Mary Zimmerman
adapted from
The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night
in association with Berkeley Repertory Theatre, Kansas City Repertory Theatre and Lookingglass Theatre Company
January 14–February 20, 2011 in the Fichandler
In ancient Baghdad, a courageous young girl postpones her execution by weaving magical tales for the troubled king. Genies and jesters, lovers thieves spring to life from Scheherazade’s imagination— allowing her to win the king’s heart even as she secures her freedom. Tony Award-winning director and playwright Mary Zimmerman (
Metamorphoses
) celebrates the wonder of storytelling and the redemptive power of love in this “exhilarating, imaginative theatrical escape” (
Variety
) that
Chicago
magazine calls a “feast for the eyes and ears.”
