Journey to the World's Edge: A Folk Tale in the Irish Tradition

A touching and fun children's tale that gets right to the hard of what it means to accept yourself and be brave.

We absolutely loved Journey to the World's Edge. My 7th grade students performed this play and really embraced the heart of Brigid's story. This play used magical characters to capture both the performers and the audience's hearts as we traveled right along side of Brigid on her quest. We used simple costumes and staging so that the characters and the story could really shine. I would recommend this play to anyone looking to engage in a meaningful conversation with their performers and audience members.

It was a great opportunity to learn about Irish culture. The parents always appreciate a show with an educational slant.

Everyone who saw the play loved it. Adults and children were drawn into the piece. My students fell in love with it once they realized it was not a "children's story." It touched many audience members, and the message was heard.

A beautifully written play; an old-fashioned folk tale told in a contemporary theatre style. My middle-school students were challenged by the narrative and choral speaking, and they loved the element of physical theatre as well as the chance to play multiple characters.

This show has so much heart and it's so unique. It's a different story that teaches kids about those who are different and accepting them for who they are. We loved finding the heart of the story and the unique challenges of the script. It also is a beautiful way to teach children about not being defined by what others think and accepting themselves for who they are.
