Mary Zimmerman's adaptation of The Arabian Nights is a celebration of the healing powers of storytelling. When he discovers his wife in the arms of another man, King Shahryar vows to ruthlessly murder every virgin in the kingdom. His brutality is interrupted only when he encounters the clever maiden Scheherezade, whose captivating stories may just save her life. Performed by an ensemble of actors, musicians and dancers, The Arabian Nights weaves comedy, suspense and drama into a theatrical feast for the eyes, ears and soul.

(Contains mature themes. Recommended for adults.)
