Worldview leaves earth for this installment of Weekend Passport.

We speak with playwright, Claire Kiechel, about her new play Pilgrims, which is set on a spacecraft on its way to colonize a newly discovered planet. The play follows a soldier and teenage girl cohabitating in the spacecraft cabin. Both have traumatic pasts and learn to cope and heal on their way to becoming pilgrims on a new planet. 

We’re also joined by Michael Thornton, artistic director of The Gift Theatre, where Pilgrims is showing.
