CHRISTOPHER ARUFFO play the Vizier.<\/p>\n

Dr. Christopher Aruffo (teacher, actor, director) has performed in and directed more than 60 plays in the US, the UK, and Canada. Currently based in Chicago, Chris has taught acting classes and workshops for more than 13 years, and is the author of A Rational Guide to Verse: Scansion Made Simple<\/i>, a guide to Shakespearean language. He is a dialect coach and voiceover artist, and has recorded thirteen volumes of the Edgar Allan Poe Audiobook Collection. He earned his Master of Fine Arts in Acting Performance from the University of Florida and his Ph.D. from McMaster University.\u00a0 Chris’s TEDx talk, explaining why people talk with an accent, can be seen on YouTube.<\/p>\n

THE VIZIER, Scheherazade\u2019s father,\u00a0has been trying literally for years to convince the Sultan to abandon his ridiculous campaign against womankind and return to governance. At the same time, he has been keeping his daughters out of his sovereign’s rapacious eye: but one fateful evening, Scheherazade emerges and seems hellbent on arousing the Sultan’s ire. The Vizier is stuck with the unenviable task of reigning in his daughter’s suicidal obstreperousness.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor ev\u2019ry Subject
\nYou offer up a Theme: When I would speak
\nTo you of debtors unrepentant, you
\nRepine the fortunes waste<\/em>d on a Wife
\nWho durst to dote upon her Jew\u2019lry more
\nThan on th\u2019 Jewe<\/em>l of her Master\u2019s Potency,
\nAs though she ought to hang upon the Scepter
\nAlike to Moses\u2019<\/em> staff. A Sultan\u2019s staff
\nIs sturdy true and ready for his Office,
\nYet \u2018tis not Evidence of God<\/em>, whate\u2019er
\nWe fane would have our Ladies testify.
\nThus speak you of Taxes, learne<\/em>d Sultan.\u201d
\nAct I, Scene 1<\/p>\n
