JEREMY LEONG
The Honest Man (Middle East)
Ali was
known far and wide as a man who never told a lie. The King heard of this honest
man but did not believe it to be true. Ali was summoned to the royal palace
where he was given a task … to lie to the Queen about the King! What will Ali
do? Lie through his teeth to save his skin, or stay steadfast to the
truth? Find out in this comedic retelling of a humorous tale with live musical accompaniment by Desiree Orien Tay.
ANDREA ALINGALAN
The Wicked Girl (Turkey)
A clever and
beautiful slave girl heads out in search of a spare oil lamp to bring back to
her owner's home, but finds herself caught up in an exciting adventure instead.
She meets a handsome trader whom she tricks and steals from. Each night she
toys and teases with him and the furious man vows to drink her blood in
vengeance!
KHYAN KOTAK
The Kabuliwala
Inspired by
Rabindranath Tagore’s short story this is a tale of a peddler from Kabul who sells
his wares to eke out a living. In the course of his work he befriends a little
girl, Mini, and dotes on her like his own daughter. Time passes and the
Kabuliwala is jailed for an incident. It is now Mini’s wedding day, and he is
released. Will their friendship stand the test of time?
DAISY MITCHELL
The Magic Horse (Persia)
The Sultan
is gifted a magic horse that can fly great distances. In return for this gift
he pledges his daughter, the Princess, to the maker of the horse. Outraged at
his father’s act, the Prince steals the horse to save his sister! But the horse
leads the Prince to strange lands and a tale of kidnap, love, revenge and much
flying ensues.
FAHIM MURSHED
The Thief & The Cunning Bride (Persia)
Roshan is no
ordinary woman … widowed at an early stage in her marriage and forced to
remarry a stranger, she finds herself in the company of a persistent thief. The
