THE LIGHT HOUSE

 "Man overboard! Call control! Blow the whistle!"

Love is a complicated business. It gets even more complicated when the person you love doesn't want to be alive. Tender, funny and defiantly hopeful, The Light House is a real life story of falling in love and staying in love, even when the lights go out and you're lost in the dark. It's a love letter to life. 

​

Join the emergency response as we dance in the kitchen, sing in the streets and try to turn the lights back on. It gets lonely, muddling through these days and nights. So why don’t we do it together?​

​

With puppetry, clowning and gently embedded audience participation, The Light House is the highly acclaimed debut play of theatre artist Alys Williams, supported by an exciting, female-led creative team. Following a celebrated national tour and London run at Park Theatre in 2023-4, The Light House returns to stages across the UK in 2026 “to bring hope to nation that is crying out for it” (★★★★★ Theatre & Tonic).

​

The Light House was created with the support of Arts Council England, Leeds Playhouse & Red Ladder, in partnership with local carer groups. This tour has been made possible through support from the Traverse Theatre, the Touring Network and NRTF (National Rural Touring Forum).
