In this profound philosophical play, Tawfiq al-Hakim ventures beyond the famous 1001 nights. The storytelling is over and Shahrazad's life is saved, but a new intellectual struggle begins. King Shahryar, no longer captivated by tales, relentlessly seeks the ultimate truth and meaning of existence—a quest her stories cannot satisfy. He grapples with profound questions about life, God, and humanity, leaving Shahrazad to confront the limits of her narrative power. The play masterfully explores the conflict between the heart and the mind, the artist and the philosopher, in a timeless search for absolute knowledge.
