Description Jigsaw Theatre Company has collected stories of children who lived on lighthouse islands and created a fun show filled with adventure.
Through the eyes of playful Nikki who returns to the lighthouse she lived in as a child, and the anxious Mrs. Ingram who blows in from 1910, experience the joys and hardships of living in a wild and remote place.
With help from the audience Nikki recreates her island and her family's hair-raising journey there. She takes us up in the tower to explain some of the children's special chores, relives school that is "just me, my sister and Mum in the kitchen".
