Get Your Tickets: Miramonte Drama Department's Fall Play 'Arabian Nights'

By Wendy Bond

On November 5, 6, and 7 at 7:00 p.m., the Miramonte Players present Mary Zimmerman’s Arabian Nights.

Though written in 2005 and performed with critical acclaim at Berkeley Rep, the play is an adaptation of the 9th century folklore, the 1001 Arabian Nights.

The play focuses on a peasant girl named Sheherezade who saves her own life by telling stories to her would-be killer King Sharyar.

Through these stories (and stories within stories), Sharyar’s imagination is captured and he learns the power of empathy.

Audiences can look forward to an ensemble cast that helps move these multi–layered stories forward through original music created and played by the cast, song, belly dancing, and more.

Tickets are available on the Miramonte web store at https://miramonte.revtrak.net.

Parent discretion advised due to mature subject matter.
