The Wickie

When the ocean steals his shoe, a lighthouse keeper sets off to discover his fateful misstep. Inspired by maritime tales of man vs sea, Richie Whitehead, “a master at mining every drop of humor”, treats audiences to a clowning, physical-comedy exploration of life on a lighthouse-bearing rock.

Morse code message.

Endless flights of steps.

Very squeaky windows.

All create the perfect storm that threatens to dampen the keep’s sock, and his prospects of reuniting with his shoe!
