Scheherazade has a cast of 23: 6 males and 17 females. It consists of two sets and runs for about 75 minutes. The play is a magical, mystical, revengeful, and comedical production mixed together to produce this colorful legend of the greatest storyteller of the ancient Arabian world. Scheherazade is called upon to use her tale-spinning talents to save her people from certain destruction. Betrayed by his betrothed, the hot-tempered king Raynah decides to punish all the women in his kingdom. Armed only with her wit and just a smattering of magic, Scheherazade recites her stories for the king himself. Her enchanted tales transforms royal counselors into powerful genies and mutates the king into his own worst enemy; a woman. By the final curtain, the king has become a victim of his own revengeful plot! This enchanting adaptation has been written specifically for simple production, with an extremely flexible cast and many wonderful roles.
