ArrangementThis subsubsubfonds contains materials relating to the pantomimes Aladdin, Ali Baba and The Forty Thieves and Sinbad the Sailor. This is because these stories all derive from the tales of The Arabian Nights, also known as One Thousand and One Nights, which is a collection of Middle Eastern folktales, and have thus been grouped accordingly to reflect the origins of these pantomimes. Materials relating to Aladdin have been arranged as follows:
London Theatres
Regional Theatres
Miscellaneous Materials
Overseas Theatres
Access conditionsThis material is available for consultation at the University of Kent's Special Collections & Archives reading room, Templeman Library, University of Kent, Canterbury, CT2 7NU (specialcollections@kent.ac.uk).
