About this event:
In October 2023, UJ Arts & Culture will proudly unveil its forthcoming theatrical production, 1001 Nights, a spellbinding reimagining of the timeless tales from the well-known and treasured classic.

Promising to transport audiences into a realm of magical storytelling and cultural exploration, 1001 Nights is a brilliantly conceived retelling of the classic tales from the Arabian Nights offering a fresh perspective on the stories woven together by the young Queen Shahrazad. Set against the backdrop of King Shahrayar's palace and the Persian’s prince’s vow to kill his new wives, the play begins on their wedding night that unfolds into a suspenseful narrative of storytelling prowess.

This enchanting production is set to grace the stage at the Keorapetse William Kgositsile Theatre at the UJ Arts Centre from 23 to 28 October.
