‘Arabian Nights’ starts Nov. 14 at UT
The University of Toledo Department of Theatre and Film stages
Mary Zimmerman’s Arabian Nights, Friday,

Nov. 16, 2008 and
Nov. 19 thru Sunday,
Nov. 23. All performances are at
7:30 p.m. except for Sunday performances, which are at 2 p.m.
Arabian Nights is the classic tale of Scheherezade,
a woman who delays death for 1001 nights by telling her husband,
the king, one wondrous story after another. Through her powerful
imagination and vivid storytelling, she saves not only her own
life, but that of her husband, whose fear of betrayal has
overwhelmed him and driven him to madness. |
