About
Tim Bray Theatre Company presents:
The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch
by Ronda and David Armitage
Adapted by Tim Bray
Songs by Christine White
Created for Ages: 5-10
⏱ Show Run Time: 60min
Don’t miss this much-loved New Zealand stage adventure, where high seas, high adventure, and hi-jinks abound. Back by popular demand, The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch is a story made for audience enjoyment, featuring an operating lighthouse, a seaworthy vessel, and an enormous rescue at sea!
Born from the pages of Ronda and David Armitage’s three children’s books, The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch, The Lighthouse Keeper’s Rescue, and The Lighthouse Keeper’s Tea, this iconic Kiwi show will have audiences of all ages singing along, joining in the fun and marvelling at its mystery, adventure, and humour.
“It’s worth simply reiterating how entertaining and worthwhile this show is for all ages – some parents were as vocal as the kiddies! …another terrific holiday event from the master and his team.” – Nik Smythe, Theatreview
Based on The Lighthouse Keeper series of books by Ronda and David Armitage © 1994, 2001
