Work is up and running on a series of shows aimed at families for the new Dubai Community Theatre in the United Arab Emirates, the first being ‘The Adventures of Ali Baba & The Forty Thieves‘.
Taken from the legendary book of 1001 Nights, Ali Baba takes us upon a magical journey back in time to the mysterious Persia of old.
The Book of 1001 Nights tells the story of a Medieval Persian Queen, Scherherezade, who must relate a series of stories to her husband to delay her imminent execution. The stories were told over a period of 1001 nights, each tale ending with a suspenseful situation, therefore, forcing the Sultan to keep her alive for another day.
One of the most popular tales from the famous book, Ali Baba is brought to life in this exciting production of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.
The story begins with the Sultan of Baghdad and his medieval Persian Queen, Scheherezade. As night falls, Scheherezade begins here tale of Ali Baba & the Forty Thieves…
Just outside the Gates of Baghdad lives our poor yet happy hero, Ali Baba. One day on his way to chop wood in the forest at the foot of the mountains, he witnesses a band of thieves hiding treasure in a secret cave. He over hears the magic password, ‘Open Sesame!’ and decides to help himself to just a small amount of the treasure.
Unfortunately, Ali Baba has a wicked, greedy brother, Kassim, who, upon seeing that Ali has such riches, wants lots for himself. Unfortunately, Kassim is found by the thieves and killed. When the thieves find out that Ali Baba also has some treasure, they hatch a plan to kill him too! However, good will always overcome evil and Ali’s faithful servant saves the day.
With this performance up and running and with future productions in the pipeline, Make It So have been engaged to produce quality drama, comedy, music and dance together with a lot of fun and audience participation. This well received show begins a series of classic stories which continues through the summer with ‘The Adventures of Sinbad‘. This venture is a joint collaboration with Make It So & The Great Entertainment Company, in Dubai.
