ACT ONE
The Story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves
-In this story, the thieves are played as a chorus, becoming the horses, the cave, and the treasure inside.
The scene is set out with all the cast divided into two groups at upstage left and upstage right, all at different levels appart from Daniella (Shahrazad). Shahrazad walks from upstage to centre while saying her lines to the audience. When she starts talking about Kasim and Ali Baba they both walk towards Shahrazad from the groups they were in whilst in character, both their wives do the same. When Shahrazad say's "Kasim married a rich widow ect..." as im playing the role of Kasims wife I walk towards dowstage right with a powerful stance, i then hold Kasim by the waist and Kasim puts his arm around my shoulder's whilst in character, this then shows Kasim and his wife are in power as they are very rich and wealthy. When Ali Baba's wife comes forward she glances at the audience, turns to Ali Baba and hugs him for support as they both are very poor, this then shows that they love eachother even though they have poor living conditions and no money.
