The Lighthouse Girl Saga
March 21 @ 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM
$15 – $25
Step into the heart of history with The Lighthouse Girl Saga, a sweeping tale of courage, resilience, hope, and love set against the backdrop of World War I.
This powerful production brings to life the extraordinary experiences of ordinary people as they navigate one of the most turbulent times in history.
Through striking visuals, evocative sound, and innovative staging, audiences will be transported from the lighthouse at Breaksea Island, where the First AIF convoy bids farewell to Australia, to the horrors of Gallipoli, the muddy trenches of the Western Front, a nurse’s compassionate care in rural England, and the peaceful landscapes of country Victoria.
Follow the journey of Fay, Charlie, Jim, Rose, and Sandy—the only warhorse to return home out of 136,000 sent to war—as their intersecting stories shape the ANZAC spirit and a love that endures beyond war.
Presented by THEATRE 180, this is the company’s most ambitious production to date. Artistic Director Stuart Halusz highlights the deep emotional impact of the story:
“The surging narrative of Dianne Wolfer’s Lighthouse Series has embedded itself in the Australian psyche, captivating audiences of all ages. Amidst the brutality and futility of war lies a profound love story—love of country, love of family, love of horses and the Australian bush, and the young love that blossoms even in the chaos of war.”
Don’t miss this unforgettable theatrical experience, where history and storytelling unite in a moving tribute to the ANZAC legacy.
