Audiences have been held spellbound for centuries by the timeless tales told by Schererazade. These stories offer a wonderful opportunity for a school drama group, church group or community theater group. It is possible to purchase an Arabian nights play script from many different sources.
Scheherazade is a young woman who tells one captivating story after another to keep a king from killing her. She carries on for 1001 nights, succeeding in her goal. Her stories are filled with wise lessons and humorous observations. Like the king, audiences are seduced by these tales of lust, greed, revenge, temptation, loyalty, courage and of course love.
It is possible to compare what is offered by different sellers of scripts online to find exactly what you are looking for. Some of the scripts are more suitable for adult audiences whilst others are written specifically for children. Factors such as the cast size and the running time are also important. Some scripts are more suited to a large, mixed cast and others to a limited cast. The number of sets required can also make a difference to the cost of a production.
Most websites offering scripts give you the opportunity to read a sample online. Sometimes music is included and it is possible to listen to songs online as well. You can usually find out about past productions on site and reading reviews can help you make your decision. Included with a script may also be suggestions regarding costumes, props and scenery.
Another important factor to bear in mind is that some sellers are quite happy to allow minor adaptations to be made. Other sellers are much stricter in this regard. They do not want changes to be made without submitting them for approval. They may even require prior approval for changes to the music used.
You need to check whether there are any other costs involved besides the initial purchase fee. For example, some sellers ask for payment of royalties for use of the material. Others only charge an initial amount for purchase. Finding out whether photocopies are allowed to be made of scripts is important too. This may not be acceptable and costs can be increased by having to purchase a number of scripts.
Once buyers have paid for their purchase, the physical script may be shipped to them. However, nowadays it is often simply a matter of following on-screen instructions to download a PDF of the material to your hard drive. An electronic script may be stored for you on the website of the seller and you can simply log on to your account to access it.
Putting on a production like this can be quite a task but the rewards are great too. The audience cannot fail to be entertained by the sets, costumes, props, music and above all, the stories themselves that say so much about the human condition. They are transported into a bewitching and enchanting world for a short, magical time.
