“This lighthouse is home to a mystery...One of Scotland’s darkest tales.”
December, 1900. Three keepers disappear from their post on the Flannan Isles lighthouse, 20 miles west of the Outer Hebrides. What happened to the men has never been answered, and becomes the talking point for three technicians who find themselves stranded on the remote station. Join Davie, Alec and Mac as they delve into the mystery and step into the shoes of the missing keepers. Follow them as they navigate the choppy seas of speculation, myth and folklore, and as they ponder the unfathomable question; “what could cause three men to vanish into the night?”. Some stones, of course, are best left unturned...
Written and directed by one of Orkney's own, Izzy Gray, Keepers of the Light is touring as part of Visit Scotland's Year of Stories. The play is also part of Between Islands, a project run by An Lanntair theatre, which aims to connect Scotland' northern and western isles through creative projects.
Starring Rhys Anderson, Fraser Sivewright and Garry Stewart.
