WATCH NOW: Check out the official trailer ⬇️
A daring heroine, captivating songs, and a timeless story of wonder and hope ✨
Schere has the quickest wits, greatest courage and most marvellous stories. Now she plans to liberate every young woman in the Kingdom from the greedy, tyrannical King. All through the power of her storytelling. But can she do this alone? And is the first person she has to turn to really her annoying younger sister?
As their mission grows more complicated, the sisters turn to the people of the Kingdom to join their cause. Working together, they overcome old grudges and petty disputes to find their collective voice. Together, they light up the Kingdom with magic, excitement, unity and hope in the festive season.
From writer Sonali Bhattacharyya (Chasing Hares, Young Vic) and director Blanche McIntyre (All’s Well That Ends Well, RSC) comes an Arabian Nights for modern times.
