Carrying on my marathon arts week I attended Berkeley Rep's Arabian Nights by Mary Zimmerman with my arts peep Julie. This two and a half hour production transported us into the world of lessons learned through storytelling. Each tale was a mix of comedy, tragedy and romance.
The conclusion was understated tragedy of legacy lost in this endless war, instantly breaking my heart for what was Baghdad.
