In ancient Baghdad, a clever maiden stays her execution by spinning enchanted tales of genies and jesters, lovers and thieves for the anxious king. Scheherazade’s imagination helps her to win the king’s heart even as she earns her freedom. Tony award-winning director and playwright Mary Zimmerman (Metamorphoses) celebrates the redemptive power of love and storytelling in this “exhilarating, imaginative theatrical escape” (Variety) that Chicago Magazine calls a “feast for the eyes and ears.”
