Desert Thirsts and Jerusalem Winds
Junayd of Islam
Straight off his successful Edinburgh run, Junayd's fascinating play has come to Cambridge! Escape to 1920s Jerusalem and follow the wanderlust of reporter Leopold Weiss. What was meant to be a holiday turns into an adventure across the Middle East searching for unity with destiny. Take leap after leap with this daring Austrian student as he blags his way to the most prestigious newspapers, risks death in the Nufud desert and dissects the political and spiritual issues of East and West. This is the first theatre-quality dramatisation of the autobiography The Road to Mecca.
This production is suitable for all ages.
