Theatre South Carolina Presents "The Arabian Nights" February 19, 2010

Theatre South Carolina brings to life the magical folk tales of ancient Persia in “The Arabian Nights,” an imaginative retelling of the legend of the "One Thousand and One Nights." Angered by his first wife's betrayal, a Persian king vows to marry a different virgin every night, and then murder her at dawn to prevent future infidelity. The plan continues until he meets Scheherezade, the clever maiden who postpones her fate by telling wondrous tales whose endings she withholds until the following evening, thus delaying her execution. Experience the transformative power of storytelling in this enchanting spectacle from Tony Award-winning playwright Mary Zimmerman.

NEW FOR THE 09/10 SEASON: Curtain Times for Theatre South Carolina productions are: Wednesdays through Fridays @ 8pm; Saturdays @ 7pm; Special 1/2 Price Late Night on the first Saturday, 11pm; and 3pm matinee only on final Sunday.
