a play by Paul Goetzee

On Tuesday 30th March, 1999, WYD presented the Irish premiere of this exciting new play, directed by Dublin-based actress and director Deirdre Molloy.

The play is set in a fictional land where two groups (the goatherders and shepherds) hate each other. Things change when two young people from opposite groups meet up and realise that they aren't so different.

This production was part of the BT National Connections 99 project. After presenting the play at Garter Lane in Waterford, WYD took it to Belfast and performed it at the Lyric Theatre.

It then became the only production from the Republic of Ireland to be chosen to appear in London. The Royal National Theatre in association with British Telecom invited WYD to perform 'The Pilgrimage' at the Olivier Theatre on 13th July.
