A lighthouse on a Hebridean island. A keeper who won't leave. A daughter who has come to make him.
Over one winter night, Ruth and her father Tom sit up with the lamp and say the things they've avoided for twenty years. Halflight is Nora Ellery's first full-length play: funny, furious and very tender about the people we keep the lights on for.
Running time approximately 2 hours 20 minutes, including a 20-minute interval. Recommended for ages 14+.
Selling seats for a show? This page was built with Hi.Events: reserved seating with price bands, a run of performances, access bookings and a box office, all from one dashboard.

Visiting
What time should I arrive?
Doors and bars open 45 minutes before the show. Latecomers are admitted at a suitable break.
Can I exchange my tickets?
Yes, for another performance of Halflight up to 24 hours before, for free.
Where are the restricted view seats?
The side blocks at the edge of the stalls. You'll miss a little of the lamp room on the upper level, so they're £12 cheaper.
