Buy An Arabian Nights Play Script

By Anita Ortega


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.

When he is betrayed by his wife, King Shahrayer vows to remarry and put to death a new wife every day. Schererazade, daughter of one of the advisers to the king, volunteers to become his wife. She hopes to prevent him from killing any more wives. She tells him a story every night, leaving the ending open, so as to stay her execution for another day. She tells him stories for 1001 nights, including such favorites as Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. Her captivating stories of courage, loyalty, greed and love keep the king fascinated and ultimately prevent her execution.

Due to the wide variety of scripts available online, certain factors should be taken into account before selecting one for purchase. The size of your cast is just one of these factors. For example, you may have a large, mixed cast that needs to be accommodated. The length of the production and the number of sets needed can affect costs, so this also needs careful consideration. Some scripts are more suited to performances the whole family can watch whilst others may be suited to an adult only audience.

You should be able to read a synopsis of what is contained in the script online. A sample of the writing style should also be available. You need to find out whether music is included or whether you have to provide your own. If music is provided, you should be able to listen to an excerpt online.

Some sellers of scripts are very strict about copyright laws. They do not allow any changes, even minor ones to be made without prior approval. Others are more lenient in this regard. They allow adaptations to be made to suit the requirements of a particular cast.

Finding out about copyrights and royalties is important. Some companies require payment of royalties for each production. Others charge for the initial purchase and this is the only fee. You also need to determine whether it is possible to photocopy scripts as many sellers have very strict rules against this. Others will give you license to photocopy as many scripts as your group needs.

Scripts are distributed to customers in various different ways. If they have to be shipped, you need to examine the shipping terms carefully. Some companies allow you to download scripts once payment has been made. Others send them to customers as email attachments. There are those who offer electronic scripts which are stored on their website.

Undertaking such a production offers audiences a spectacle of color, music and magic. There are always various ways for a producer to bring their own unique imaginative expression to the material. Audiences are exposed to a bewitching world of genies and princesses, wonderful accessories, sets and backdrops to tell these fascinating stories.
