Scheherazade will be an original piece of musical theatre devised by all of us based upon the fabulous ancient tales from the Arabian Nights.A murderous madness is consuming the Sultan. Whenever he wants, he marries a new wife. The next morning he has her killed. All are powerless before him. The number of his victims mounts. Mothers and fathers live in fear. Will their daughter be next?

Then Scheherazade, the daughter of the Sultan’s High Counsellor, demands to be the next wife. All are dumbfounded. Has she lost her senses? Will the brutal Sultan kill her or can she divert him from his evil intent? She starts to tell a story which turns into a magic carpet ride into a universe of wonder and delight with tales of learned sages and magic potions, fishermen and genies, apples that bring betrayal and death, and a magnetic mountain containing the secrets of the world. But can she save herself? Can she stop the killing?
