This play about a real-life Danish expedition to the Arabian peninsula is told in such a unique way! Historically, all but one of the characters die, but our Narrator finds a book about the expedition and, upon opening it, becomes part of the story and tries to change the course of history (flipping forward in the story every so often to see how well they're doing). A fast, fun reimagining of an expedition and a group of people I had never heard of, with a perfect ending as we learn why the Narrator is so invested in this tale.

Funny and fast-paced, this is a show I’d love to see on stage. Who knew the King of Denmark funded an expedition to Arabia? I certainly didn’t. And whereas I wouldn’t consider this satirical history anything like a documentary, it certainly has a lot to say about how the West regards the non-European world and vice versa.

This play is a trip (literally). It's quick, witty, and surprising. I adore the character of the Narrator, who plays so many roles and seems to somehow control and yet not control the plot. Funny all the way through with a bittersweet ending. Excellently done.
