Mary Zimmerman's acclaimed adaptation weaves ancient tales of wonder into a rich and poetic testament to the
transformational power of storytelling.
King Shahryar marries, loves, then kills a young woman each night – until he encounters Scheherezade. For one
thousand and one nights, he delays her murder as he eagerly awaits her next tale of love, lust, hilarity, or sorrow.
