The art of entertainment can bring people together and introduce much-needed fun into an otherwise stressful life. Whether it’s laughing at jokes, appreciating the talent of others on an open mic night or even trying your hand at a little performance yourself, these moments are what makes life enjoyable and helps to keep us from getting bored. The power of this is evident in the story of Scheherazade, from the Persian professional storytelling tradition, which inspired a number of musical works, films and video games.
