On a dimly lit Victorian-era street, we meet a bumbling lamplighter with a heart of gold but skills as dim as the gas lamps he's tasked to light. As dusk settles, he stumbles onto the cobblestone streets, armed with a ladder, a lamplighter stick, and a sense of misguided determination.
However, from the outset, it's clear that our lamplighter is more adept at causing havoc than illuminating the streets. More trouble arises as the diligent but hapless town policeman unwittingly finds himself entangled in the nightly escapades.
Despite the attempt to restore order, chaos ensues, as the ever swaying lamppost leads the pair on a whimsical waltz through the town, leaving the audience in stitches and the streets in darkness.
Shoddy Theatre are proud to present the silent, slapstick farce
