Arabian Nights: Volume 2

An Audible Original Drama

De: Marty Ross

Narrado por: David Ahmad, Raghad Chaar, Mandana Jones, Alyssa Kyria, Adam Sina, Josh Zare

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

It would have 5 stars except....

I am so disappointed that there is no third addition! It leaves off at a crucial part and then there is no continuation? I enjoyed the story, though the chomping noises were a bit much at times, but I want to know what happens to Scheherezade at the end!

make more soon

really awesome voice acting this you feel like you're in the story I don't want to wait for the next one I hope they make more soon very soon

Can't wait for Volume 3

If you've listened to the first one you will want to hear this one too.
There are differences between the two volumes. For one this collection of tales revolves entirely arround the Adventures of Sinbad.
The interludes between stories of Scheherazade and the Sultan conversing are fewer in number and more brief.
This audio drama is shorter than Volume 1.

One more thing that is peculiar about this tale is that Scheherazade tells a story within a story which uses a narrative device of one man telling a story to another, which is very strange and more than a little redundant.

Overall there is less content here than the previous volume, hence its a 4/5.
Do not let this discourage you from listening, because this drama will leave you hungry for more as the brave and cunning storyteller's own adventure ends on a cliffhanger.

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.
