BWW Review: CONUNDRUM, Young Vic

“I know who I am”, Fidel’s mantra echoes throughout Paul Anthony Morris’s play. But he doesn’t. Nor does the play itself. Conundrum is crowded with glaring themes. It’s about memories, identity, and racism. But it’s also about unlearning societal dogmas and healing your inner child, if you know where to look. And about how parents relate to their children, and about trauma and confidence. Unfortunately, they’re all throwaways. 

CONUNDRUM Will Be Performed at the Young Vic in 2022

The Young Vic will present Conundrum, the debut production from Crying in the Wilderness Productions as a Young Vic Associate Company. This evocative new drama, written and directed by Paul Anthony Morris, dives headlong into a powerful exploration of one man's trajectory of embracing then owning self-acceptance. Conundrum opens in January 2022, having been delayed due to the pandemic.
