Music by FREDERIC NORTON
Book and lyrics by OSCAR ASCHE
Radio version by ALASTAIR SCOTT JOHNSTON Introduced by John Palmer
Of course, Chu Chin Chow isn'Chu Chin Chow. He's Abu Hassan. the robber chief, and in Kasim Baba. a wealthy Baghdad merchant, he has found the ultimate in rich ' mugs.' Soaking him once again is. in Abu Hassan's view, merely a routine operation. But this time it isn't. There are women in love, with schemes of their own to pursue. Thus everything goes wrong, and in this Arabian Nights Dream its Abu himself who comes to grief - to everyone's satisfaction.
