Sheherazade

Now it is time to go Arabian with a very special version of “One Thousand and One Nights”, in which a cast of first-class comedians parodies some of the most famous tales, such as “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves“.








The framework for every tale is Sheherazade, called “Shera“, who has swindled her way into her new “Super Nanny“ job. To keep the three kids entertained, she makes up her very own stories from “One Thousand and One Nights” that she twists into versions mirroring her own crazy ideas about education.

Ali Baba is a cool and smart crook. In “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves“, he meets the beautiful Shantü and wants to marry her – but she is locked up in her greedy father’s palace. What could he possibly offer him for his daughter’s hand? His agile mind comes up with a great story about forty thieves and their treasure…
