Alys Williams & Company present a real-life love story about holding onto each other, even in the darkest times – tender, funny and defiantly hopeful, it’s a love letter to life


‘Man overboard, 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. 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?

The Light House is the highly acclaimed debut play of theatre artist, Aly Williams.

“Leaves audiences with stars in their eyes, tears on their cheeks, smiles on their faces and a lump in their throat… A play that will leave you feeling lighter and more hopeful for the future.”
