The work begins its New York run May 31 and opens June 12 at The East 13th Street Theatre. The show is slated through July 1.

Arabian Night is described as "an erotic urban fantasy... [A] nocturnal adventure, set in an anonymous housing complex, [which] is part fairy tale, part noir thriller and part nightmare." The story follows the lives of five individuals which become intertwined on a hot summer night when the building's water supply mysteriously disappears.

The cast features Roxanna Hope (After the Fall, The Women), Piter Marek ("The Grid," "The Education of Max Bickford"), Brandon Miller (Hannah and Martin), Stelio Savante (110 Stories, Murder In The First), Jicky Schnee ("Hope & Faith," "The Jury").

The design team includes Louisa Thompson (set), Katherine Roth (costume), Lenore Doxsee (lighting) and Bart Fasbender (sound).
