Camden People's Theatre to Present ARABIAN NIGHTS, August 13

By:

The Camden People's Theatre presents ARABIAN NIGHTS, 13th-18th August.

This production, a rip-roaring comedy, tramples raucously through the far-flung fables of the Arabian Nights in which Queen Scheherazade has delayed her execution by enthralling the king with stories. Day after day the executioner arrives and finds the King too captivated to be disturbed by his customary daily beheading of wives. Live music accompanies the rambunctious ensemble of five actors who take on a multitude of weird and wonderful characters. Amidst kings, princess, genies, numerous talking animals, and a flying horse, expect to see this classic saga innovatively retold. Prepare yourselves to be bombarded by imagination and battered with fantasy!

A previous version of this show performed with the Cambridge University Amateur Dramatic Club in 2010 and was recommended as "Editor’s Choice" on the Cambridge Tourism Office Website, recommended on localsecrets.com and given a four star review from "Varsity" which described it as "a fast-paced romp through fantastical stories which kept the audience laughing and attentive," and "weird, wonderful and witty."

This production has built on this earlier success to make an even more fantastical and
imaginative fiasco of a show. This is director Jennifer R. Lee’s professional debut, after having directed and performed with the Cambridge University Amateur Dramatics Club.

The cast are an exciting mixture of Lamda and Courtyard graduates and previous performers
with the Cambridge Footlights.

Tickets are £8.50/£7.50 concessions. Call the box office at 08444 77 1000. Camden People's Theatre is located at 58-60 Hampstead Road, NW1 2PY, Charity Registration Number - 1058723. The venue is fully accessible to wheelchair users.
