Pilgrims

‘Does there always have to be a girl? Does she always have to be the prize?’ Hailed as “provocative,” “poetic” and “playwrighting at its peak”, this haunting drama, by award-winning writer Elinor Cook, tells of a very modern love-triangle: between feminist academic Rachel, and mountaineering prodigies Dan and Will. Tracing their interwoven trajectories, 'Pilgrims' dramatises the conflicting attractions of freedom and belonging, and interrogates inherited assumptions about gender, storytelling and nature. How far are we all trapped in narratives beyond our own making? What might escape cost us? And what better stories do we have to guide us?Rachel - Rebeca BarbosaDan - Robert ThomasWill - Adam RadfordDirected by Adam RadfordWriter - Elinor Cook
