Purchase 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.

The stories told by this amazing storyteller include many favorites such those about Aladdin and Sinbad and Ali Baba. They contain so many different elements like fantasy, horror, satire and foreshadowing. A full range of human emotions like courage, greed, loyalty and love are expressed. This is why they can hold an audience spellbound, just as they did the king. Schererazade always left her story unfinished and the king did not kill her because he just had to find out how each story ended.

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.

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.

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.

This is why finding out about royalties and copyrights is so important. A once off fee is charged for some scripts whilst other sellers require royalties to be paid for performances held. Another point to bear in mind is that some sellers do not have any objection to scripts being photocopied for a large cast and others do not allow this.

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.

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.
