Publisher's Summary
Please note this drama contains some explicit content.
This multicast dramatisation of Arabian Nights: Volume 1 is an Audible Original reenvisioning of three iconic tales - with a twist.
Adapted by the great Marty Ross, whose previous audio dramas include Romeo and Jude, Dark Shadows, Doctor Who and Treasure Island, listeners can expect to hear Scheherazade, Ali Baba & the Forty Thieves and Julnar of the Sea as they've never done before.
Step out of your comfort zone and indulge in the dark and fantastical world we've created. Travel with Mermen across the White City, go in search of treasures in hidden caves with Ali and Kasim and let yourself be guided by Scheherazade’s vision as she gives in to a deadly romance with Sultan Shahriya.
About the stories
In Scheherezade, a woman finds herself the object of desire of a powerful Sultan with murderous desires. Her only chance at saving her life is by using the one power she herself possesses: her gift for telling enchanting stories, the very stories that follow in this drama....
Ali Baba & the Forty Thieves tells the tale of an impoverished husband and wife whose lives change drastically when husband Ali discovers the cave where a local gang of bandits are hiding their treasure. A happy ending? Not quite, as the money brings dangerous complications in the form of the greed of Ali's brother and sister-in-law and the determination of the bandits not to be stolen from. Can Ali save himself - or will his wife, Marjana, have to do all the work - in this taut romantic thriller?
In Julnar of the Sea, a merwoman finds the love of a mortal King and they produce a son, Prince Badr Basim. Julnar will have to look out for her son, Badr, as, true to his undersea birthright, he seeks out the love of Princess Jawhera of the Merfolk. She is haughty and her father King Es Semendel positively hostile, casting Badr into a dramatic odyssey which will take him to the island of a beautiful sorceress who makes literal pets of her lovers. Can Julnar and her brother, Salim, find and save Badr in time?

This drama features Omid Djalili (The Mummy, Gladiator, The Omid Djalili Show), Abraham Popoola, Adam Sina, Alyssa Kyria, Anoushka Rava, Atilla Akinci, Bamshad Abedi-Amin, Betsabeh Emran, Daniel Naddafy, David Ahmad, Gisele Payvandi, Ian Abeysekera, Jonathan Morrison, Mandana Jones, Michael Franklin, Mitra Djalili, Nezar Alderazi, Philip Arditti, Raghad Chaar, Richard Reed, Pezh Maan, Tara Jaffar, Walles Hamonde, Zahra Ahmadi and Hemi Yeroham.

Great naraation & intresting story
Truly magnificent performance by entire cast. Made the entire story even more interesting. All in all quite an entertaining read. A bit racy for its time so under 146 may avoid this version.
Highly recommend.

An entertaining listen...
It's a beautiful performance by all the artists involved. Brilliant narration with all the necessary expressions as well the background sounds and music to make the story live as if you are there in the story itself watching each and every ship floating on the waves,fierce barbaric bandits going on their horses for some loot, all the different landscapes and what not!
Also, I know we all must have read The Arabian nights in the childhood and still this Audiobook kept me hooked through its wonderful storytelling. Yes, what I don't recall are the steamy exchanges within here and there between the character of the stories which only enhances the stories and makes up for an even more enticing listen.
I am all up for the Volume 2!!!

New Age Audible Dramatization
Even though I am nearing sixties the stories of Arabian Nights are fascinating. The dramatization by the crew brings alive the fascination. It's as compelling for the Sultan who listens to the stories every night as for us who listens to this Audible Dramatization. Thanks for the entire crew and for the audible studios. Looking forward to more such titles and dramatization.

Do something about the sound!
Love the performances.
Tad bit too realistic and uncomfortable if you do not like PG 13 content.
Loved the story of Ali Baba, Morgiana being the favourite in that.
Liked the Julnar the Sea-Born, Badr Basim story too. However, I liked King Shahriman and Julnar's story much better than Badr Basim and Jaurahah's (daughter of King Al-Samandal)
The problem with the audible performance was (as many reviews mention) is the audio going wild and down on its own without any base.
Do I recommend the book?
Yes, lovely performance and captivating stories.
Here is a question for you, Can Shahrazad save herself from an evil Sultan by telling stories?
