LAMPLIGHTER'S TALES




As it continued to develop its innovative, multimedia “dramatic curation” WIW turned to Homestead’s Lamplighter Writers Circle to stage seven short stories titled “Lamplighter’s Tales”. The stories offered an array of eclectic and endearing characters including a teenager battling the injustices of an intractable teacher, a gun-wielding backyard lychee owner, a sixty-five-year-old retiree, determined to master the unicycle and an equivocal exchange between husband and wife sharing the delicate ambiguity that lies beneath a war-torn mind. “Lamplighter’s Tales” delivered its multigenerational audiences a theatre experience filled with thought-provoking reflection and giddy delight.
