Synopsis
Wedding night in the palace of King Shahrayar.
By morning the new Queen Shahrazad is to be put to death, like a thousand young brides before her.
She has one gift that could save her - the gift of story telling.
Can the young Queen transport the vengeful King to the mystical land of her stories?
On her side she has a rich array of characters including Ali Baba, Es-Sindibad the Sailor and Princess Parizade - adventurers in strange and magical worlds populated by giant beasts, talking birds and crafty thieves.
But will her silver-tongued story telling save her life?
