Is This Good Enough?
as part of NT Connections Festival 2023Performed by a young performing arts company based at City of Westminster College, this play is a contemporary take on “The Conference of the Birds” (a 12th century epic Persian poem by Sufi poet Farid ud-Din Attar).
Young people from all over the city, all the different tribes, the Rudeboys, the Party Girls, the Footballers, the Chess Players, the Skateboarders, the Drug Runners, and the Uniformed Schoolkids are all converging in the park one cold winter’s midnight, summoned there by the mysterious and enigmatic Cyroe.
Cyroe will send them on a treacherous quest – across deserts, up mountains, over frozen wastelands, and long dangerous rock faces – where they will face their worst nightmares and darkest fears to find the answer for themselves and discover the true meaning of leadership.
