Towering Illumination

Towering Illumination opens at the Stephen Joseph Theatre on Thursday 12 November, and it stays running through to 20 December. It's a light installation rather than a play, so you're not sitting in the dark watching a stage — the theatre itself becomes the show.

What you'll see is a display of moving LED lights that light up the building. The lights shift and change as they go, so it's something you watch as much as walk through. Because it's on for over a month, you've got plenty of time to catch it whenever suits you best, whether that's a weekday evening or a weekend afternoon.

It's based at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough, and since it runs from mid-November right up to 20 December, it's one of those things you can fit in around the run-up to Christmas. If you're in town for the holidays, it's an easy one to drop into. The installation is called Towering Illumination, and that's the only thing on the bill — just the lights and the building they're in.

So, it starts on 12 November and runs until 20 December at the Stephen Joseph Theatre in Scarborough. If you're around during those weeks, you've got a good window to see it.
