Scheherazade
Ali
Princess Jamillah
The Evil Abanazar
The Genie of the Lamp
The Spirit of the Ring
Synopsis
Scheherazade has been telling stories for one thousand
nights. She needs one more to entertain her husband, the
sultan, so she comes out with the idea of telling the story of
a poor, noble-hearted boy called Ali
Ali meets a girl called Jamillah and falls for her (as she is
both beautiful and cool, as he mentions) but soon discovers
that she is a princess and her father would not let a poor
“street rat” like him marry her
So, when the evil sorcerer Abanazar asks for Ali’s help
offering fame and fortune in return, the poor boy takes the
bait.
With the help of two magical creatures (the little Spirit of
the Ring and the mighty-powerful-extraordinaire Genie of
the Lamp) our hero will have to conquer love and stay
away from Abanazar’s evil plan.

Activities For teachers:
This workpack is divided into different levels, taking into account learners’ age and level of language acquired.
As you may notice, the same play may cater for an ample age range.
This is due to an important innovation meant to suit different students’ needs and interests.
This means that while different age groups may be viewing the same play the various pre and post language activities in the
workpack attend to a different level.
Teachers are thus able to provide students with details about the story
and the characters before they come to the theatre, and also with follow-up activities.
This play is suitable for students whose level of English equivalent to:
A2 and B1 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
