Almyna, or the Arabian Vow

Chronos Theatre Group presents a staged reading of Almyna, or the Arabian Vow by Delariviere Manley, directed by Celeste Innocenti. The second in its series of staged readings featuring women playwrights from history, this play was written in 1707 but is still as timely as ever. Alluringly veiled in an exotic Arabian setting, “Almyna” is a version of “The Arabian Nights” which makes a strong statement about equality and respect between the sexes.
