Under The Arabian Moon August 1, 2009

Seductive Stories from The Arabian Nights.

In sixty minutes, kings; princes; merchants; eunuchs are enchanted by love. Queens; princesses; servants; slaves find new power granted them by their admirers. Complex gender games unfold, with both sides captivated by each others' wiles … under the Arabian moon.

Leon Conrad presents a unique bilingual (English/Arabic) version of some lesser-known tales from the 1,001 Nights (The 'Alf Layla wa Layla') Collection, in his trademark poetic storytelling style, with Sam Fathi (live music) and Monooka (shadow theatre).
