A SPICY BLEND OF AFRICAN, ARAB AND EUROPEAN FLAVORS LIKE THE EVENTFUL HISTORY OF THE ISLAND

The Sultan of Zanzibar is very proud of his date palm. It is the only date palm on the entire island. But every year, during the night before harvesting, a mysterious black bird devours all its dates.

The sultan loses his mind. In his madness he creates a monster: his own cat. To succeed in bringing peace back to the island, the sultan's seven sons will have to rise to the occasion.

This tale with cosmopolitan roots is a very free adaptation of a story collected in Zanzibar in the 19th century.

Like the eventful history of the island, “The Zanzibar Sultan's Date Palm” is a spicy blend of African, Arab and European flavors.
