Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves

The text is adapted from the 1836 version of John Kilby Green (1790 -1860) – the action is set in Medieval Baghdad and closely mirrors present day events in that city. Arnott worked closely with Edmond Fawdry, Director of Pollock’s Toy Museum and Paul J. Weighell, Curator of Collections. The Victoria and Albert Museum have acquired the work for the permanent theatre collection.
