About this listen

This multicast dramatisation of Arabian Nights: Volume 2 is an Audible Original reenvisioning of the iconic tale of Sinbad the Sailor - with a twist.

Adapted by Marty Ross, whose previous audio dramas include Romeo and Jude, Doctor Who, Treasure Island and Arabian Nights: Volume 1, listeners can expect to hear Sinbad the Sailor as they've never done before.

In volume 2 of Arabian Nights we return to Sultan Shahriyar’s palace, where Scheherezade is using her spellbinding storytelling abilities to save both her and her sister’s lives. As much as the Sultan wants to kill her, each night he is drawn in by her tales and spares them. Scheherezade weaves a long, winding and exciting tale about Sinbad the Sailor, a reckless young man who has inherited his father’s wealth and spends it foolishly. His debts eventually force him to leave Baghdad and find his way alone. However, his journey quickly takes a turn when he is led to sea by a mysterious woman dressed in blue, which begins his long and dramatic adventures at sea.

Starring Abraham Popoola, Adam Sina, Akin Gazi, Alyssa Kyria, Anoushka Rava, Aso Sherabayani, Bamshad Abedi-Amin, Daniel Naddafy, David Ahmad, Firdous Bamji, Gisele Payvandi, Hakan Silahsiz Hemi Yeroham, Ian Abeysekera Jonathan Morrison, Josh Zare Karim Kronfli, Mandana Jones Nezar Alderazi, Raghad Chaar Richard Reed, Sammy Broly, Tara Jaffar and Walles Hamonde.

The performances are great and I love the mix of humour and seriousness. But some of the fight scenes went on a bit too long for my taste!

Enjoyable

Was really waiting to see when and how Sharezade would talk her way out of losing her head, and I apperantly need to wait for a possible part 3. There really better be a part 3 in the works...

Damn...

Told with great energy and enthusiasm, this telling of the stories of Sinbad the Sailor were very enjoyable. The quality of recording, dramatisation, background effects, music etc were all excellent and beautifully atmospheric. Including the framework of Scheherezade’s story-telling adds something, as it did with volume 1.

Great fun

I feel the full force of Arabian Nights at work here, I am left wanting more. Volume 3 please! I promise to not chop off anyone's head!
