Pilgrims

City Lit Drama • Semi-professional company

60 minutes•Forest Theatre
'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 do we all remain trapped in narratives beyond our own making? What might escape cost us? And what better stories do we have to guide us?
