Publisher's summary

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.

Since I was a child, I love Arabians Night Tales.

Alladin and Abu are my favorite characters. I always love kind hearted heros fighting for justice.

not for children but fun

great performance 🎭 like a play for your mind enjoyed the different characters and sound effects

A fresh, fun, and lively take!

It’s very evident that the performers on this project were having a blast, and that joy passes into the storytelling and sound design. The production is likely suitable for 6+, but there’s plenty of “wink,wink” type content to keep adults similarly engaged. I had the original Arabian nights from an old library, and this is relatively faithful, while employing some modernism, and it doesn’t stick out in any way. This book is a fun listen, the Audible series is solid, and no doubt could make a great show on streaming.

Very Excellent.

The full production cast really puts you into another world. It was fun to hear.

Great, but where is part 3?

Great cast and production on the first two. We need the conclusion, please!! Thank you

Wonderful and enchanting

You don’t need to be a blood thirsty sultan to be transported through space and time by sheherazade’s story. I hope a 3rd volume is created at some point.

worthy of your time

great story and delivery. this story is worth your time. you will not regret it.

Excellent Listen

Love the personification of the Sea. The adventures, the narration, the entire production! Can’t wait for Part 3!

Third volume???

Loved both installments but left the main story on a cliffhanger, not worth listening if you aren't familiar with the original stories ending.

Where is volume 3? 😩

This series was such a great listen! This is one of my favorite plays to see, anytime it’s playing I will go to the theater to see this. I only wish that there was a volume 3 on Audible to finish the book.
