To Be a Pilgrim (radio play)

Sorry if it is slightly off topic but tomorrow afternoon Tues 11th Dec) on Radio 4, 14h15 there is a 45 minute radio play called 'To be a Pilgrim'. (93.1 or 94.4 FM)

I've heard it before and it is quite funny but reinforces the nature of just setting off and walking. The message at the end makes us (as pilgrims) identify with the need to just walk.

Enjoy

I've just listened to it. Thank you for mentioning it, as I probably wouldn't have noticed it otherwise. Using simple things to raise larger issues. I would say that's definitely on topic
The play won an award too.
