Purchase An Arabian Nights Play Script

By Anita Ortega


There are many different online websites offering scripts for purchase. It is important to know how to go about choosing one which is right for a particular group and the audience who will be watching. An arabian nights play script offers a great opportunity for a large group such as a community theater group, a church group or a school group.

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.

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.

Once buyers have paid for their purchase, the physical script may be shipped to them. However, nowadays it is often simply a matter of following on-screen instructions to download a PDF of the material to your hard drive. An electronic script may be stored for you on the website of the seller and you can simply log on to your account to access it.

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.
