Scheherazade is the tale of a woman trying to melt the heart of a King. A King who has lost at love and who has the power, and the notion, to make all womankind suffer.

The plot is based on the ancient fables of the famous storyteller Aesop, who is synonymous with Arabian myth and legend. Many of the fables were included in, or through time have become attached to, his tale of Scheherazade which has enthralled and inspired mankind through the past millenium. Scheherazade ignores the well known stories of Aladdin and Sinbad and humorously portrays some of the lesser known tales attached to this legendary story.

Scheherazade describes, among others, the stories of the fisherman and the Djinni,
King Duban and the wondrous sage who cured his skin irritation by having him play polo, and a speech-impaired falcon who tries to save its master.

Cast Required:  (various ages)
