A lighthouse stands in the South China Seas - isolated and proud. Built to keep safe the seas to the south of Singapore. But a lighthouse that keeps its share of secrets too….
When the new apprentice arrives on his first day, he finds that life in his new job is not what he expected…
As he begins to learn his new job, some of the secrets of the lighthouse start to be revealed. What is the link between the old lighthouse keeper, and a mysterious shipwreck that happened over sixty years before?

What exactly does go on just beneath the surface of the waves around this little island of rock?
Just wait, and as the tide comes in all is revealed. Romantic, funny, sad, scary…
This production is genuinely multi-media, with black light, evocative music, wonderful puppets, mask and live action. A wonderful blend of action, adventure and comedy, puppetry, music and drama. A romance stretching over sixty years, and a most amazing underwater world…

Imagine a fusion of "Titanic" and "A Little Mermaid", with just a touch of "Laurel and Hardy"
What makes this production unique is the Asian location for the storyline, the beautiful puppetry and brand new fusion of art forms, and the fact that this is a play without words!

Ideal for all ages, and internationally accessible, we use the language of action and music to tell the story. Like a good Disney cartoon, it will have a colourful and amusing storyline and characters for the young, and for the older audience members, an intriguing mystery, and fascinating sub-plots.
