REVIEW: Desert Thirsts and Jerusalem Winds Desert Thirsts and Jerusalem Winds is based on the real-life story of Muhammad Asad, born Leopold Weiss, an Austrian Jewish journalist who travelled across the Arab world in the 1920s, who interrogate...

"Junayd, a writer, activist and clearly passionate custodian of Asad’s legacy, dominates the stage. His commitment is undeniable: he acts, sings and prays in multiple languages, carrying the narrative with earnest intensity"

"You are not, by the mercy of your Lord, insane at all"

Thus did Muhammad find consolation in the words of the Qur'an as he began his prophetic mission (peace unto him!).

Where has the search for destiny taken you? It took Muhammad Asad across the world - me to the #EdinburghFringe, and now to London.

'Desert Thirsts and Jerusalem Winds' comes to Hoxton Hall. This play brings to life the adventures and wanderlust of a daring 1920s.
