One Night
Target Margin Theater
A nine-hour theatrical event created by the company from various translations & versions of The One Thousand and One Nights and other material. The cast for One Night included Ali Andre Ali, Rawya El Chab, Lianne Elsouki, James Tigger! Ferguson, Anthony Vaughn Merchant, Sarah Suzuki, and Lori Vega.
In One Night, Target Margin Theater leads audiences through the frame of Scheherazade’s tale of survival into a celebration of oral storytelling in all its forms. We touch on classics, like Ali Baba and Aladdin, and we introduce you to jewels you may not know, like Julnar of the Sea, or Baucis and Philemon, or other stories from myth, history, and tradition.
This nine-hour theatrical event concludes the company’s five-year exploration of oral storytelling and The One Thousand and One Nights, a collection of classic Silk Road stories. Marking Target Margin’s 30th anniversary, this extravagant performance surrounds storytelling with food, drink, and musical diversions.
