  Arabian Nights focuses on seven of the 1,001 tales that Sharazad told her royal husband Shahrayar each morning to stave off her threatened execution. It s been a long time since I ve heard a theatre audience stamp and whistle at a curtain call, but that s precisely how the punters greeted Dominic Cooke s vibrant staging of these classic Eastern folk tales. -- Evening Standard
