Arabian Night, by the celebrated German playwright Roland Schimmelpfennig, revolves around five characters who share an apartment on the seventh floor of one of the many claustrophobic tower block apartments in Berlin.

Each character has another ‘life' loosely related to the world of Arabian Nights where his or her various desires and fears are given form and acted out. In a complicated ‘dance' that takes place during one evening on the hottest night of the year, the five interact both in the real and in the imaginary world with the boundaries becoming increasingly blurred between the two, resulting in a rich theatrical texture.

It is a fusion of observation and action which is dynamic, startling and deeply absorbing. As if from a strange dream, the play leaves us waking up without a clear resolution or rational explanation. Arabian Night is the kind of play that lives by working on the imagination of the audience.
