Show-Score Member Reviews (3)
See it if you like character studies, shanties, evocative staging
Don't see it if you expect jump scares and an obvious conclusion
See it if A superb set, well acted, creepy
Don't see it if if you dont want to get jumpy
See it if Some fair performances, and an attempt at a chilling atmosphere, that doesn't quite pay off.
Don't see it if You've seen the Lighthouse - comparisons can't help be drawn, which doesn't sit in the show's favour.

'Wickies' is notable for absolutely fantastic technical work...It’s much to the play’s credit that it doesn’t shy away the fact the mystery remains unsolved. Instead it does present one likely explanation, but it’s very much only a suggestion."
