Ja’afar weaves the spell binding tale of destiny before the
Caliph in the "Tale of Nur al Din and his Son” 1001 Arabian nights
Audio Drama from Sir Richard Burton's timeless classic "Arabian Nights
Entertainments.” Two brothers Nur al Din and Shams al Din inherit their
father’s kingdom, and promise to wed two sisters, and marry their unborn son
and daughter together. The two are separated by a mighty quarrel and are driven
to foreign lands. Fortune unfolds as the two marry the daughters of Wazsirs and
give birth to Hasan and Sitn al Husn. Upon Nur al Din’s death, after leaving
five behests, Hasan falls to the hands of fate in the desert, while Sitn al
Husn is eyed by a wealthy Sultan. As Nur al Din consults astrologers to
convince him of her betrothment to another, the Sultan in a rage promises her
to a hideous hunchback.
Hasan is driven to the desolate cemetery at night stands before the tomb of his father weeping. A devilish Ifrit and an Ifritah from Cairo and Damascus whisk him away to the wedding celebration of seven veils, and trick the half-witted hunchback out of the princess’s hand, while cowering in a privy. Hasan and Sitn al Husn spend one night in ecstasy before the winged Ifrits fly off and return him to whence he came. A carpet of blinding stars and blasing comets concludes part I of this episode.
