THE STORY BEHIND THE PLAY

Are these TRUE or FALSE?

This play is based on a traditional collection of stories. The collection of stories known as The One Thousand and One Nights or The Arabian Nights began as folk tales from the oral traditions of Egypt, Syria, Iraq, India, Persia and Mesopotamia. These stories were first written down as collections by unknown authors around the 8th Century and are a reflection of the diversity of the medieval Islamic world - a huge area spanning the Middle East and Asia which was connected through trade and religion. The first European translation of the tales appeared in 1706 when Antoine Galland translated the stories into French. Translations into English based on Gallands work appeared soon after. Three stories which have become associated with The One Thousand and One Nights in the West - Sinbad the Sailor, Aladdin and Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves were added by Galland. These stories, although probably genuine Middle Eastern folk tales, are not found in any Arabic versions of the text. The stories that form The One Thousand and One Nights are held within a narrative frame set in the court of King Shahrayer. King Shahrayer, betrayed and humiliated by his unfaithful wife, vows, in a terrible revenge on all women, to marry a different woman each night - and each morning after their wedding have her executed before he can be betrayed again. This time, the bride he has chosen is Dinarzad - the youngest daughter of his Vizier - but Shahrazad, her older sister, asks to take her place. Shahrazad is confident in her storytelling powers and believes she can keep the King so entranced by her stories that he will keep her alive in order to hear what happens next - the ultimate cliffhanger. What follows is the unfolding of story, within story, within story over 1001 nights as the power of Shahrazads storytelling not only keeps her alive and her sister safe, but transforms King Shahrayer himself.

1. There are two possible names for this collection of stories.

2. The stories were all written by the same author.

3. The main theme in these stories is diversity in the Islamic World.

4. The stories were originally written in French.

5. Some very well-known stories were introduced by Galland.

6. King Shahrayer was betrayed and humiliated by his wife.

7. The last wife he chose was replaced by her sister.

8. Shahrazad could save her younger sister.
