Maria Grazia Cipriani - Le mille e una notte
Description
The Vizir's daughter decides to end the killings perpetrated by Sultan Sharhriyar by telling an endless story, as complex and elaborate as Chinese nested boxes. The play is a labyrinth in which one story leads to another, with songs and poetry that serve to frame this meta-theatrical game of interlocking parts.
