Haroun and the Sea of Stories

A dramatization of a Salman Rushdie fable with serious allegorical connotations, but which also has appeal for children as an adventure story. Haroun's father is a renowned storyteller, but one day the sea of stories dries up, and Haroun sets out on a mission to save the world from silence.

Set in an exotic Eastern landscape peopled by magicians and fantastic talking animals, Salman Rushdie's classic children's novel Haroun and the Sea of Stories inhabits the same imaginative space as Gulliver's Travels, Alice in Wonderland, and The Wizard of Oz. In this captivating adaptation for the stage, Haroun sets out on an adventure to restore the poisoned source of the sea of stories. On the way, he encounters many foes, all intent on draining the sea of all its storytelling powers.
