Arabian Nights
Arabian Nights is a 2000 TV miniseries adapted by Peter Barnes from Richard F. Burton's translation
of the medieval epic One Thousand and One Nights. The series starts in Baghdad at the time of the Islamic
Golden Age, where Sultan Shahryar has gone mad after accidentally killing his wife during a failed coup,
which she had planned with Shahryar's brother Schahzenan. In his madness, Shahryar believes that all women
now want to kill him, but the law states that the Sultan must married again or the throne will be passed to
his brother. Shahryar therefore orders Grand Vizier Ja'Far to bring him a harem girl to marry and then have
executed the next day. In order to prevent this, the Grand Vizier's clever daughter, Scheherazade, decides to
marry the Sultan herself. Scheherazade has a plan to prevent her execution and at the same time cure the Sultan
of his madness.
The series consists of five stories from One Thousand and One Nights: Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves;
The Tale of the Poor Hunchback; Aladdin and the Magic Lamp; The Sultan and the Beggar; and The Three Princes.
It is directed by Steve Barron, and Mili Avital and Dougray Scott stars as Scheherazade and Shahryar
respectively.
