In this adaptation prepared especially for radio, Virginia Woolf's ground-breaking stream of consciousness novel, To The Lighthouse, is brought to life. In a sort of ghost story that plays with time, memory, and recollection, a young boy, over a period of ten years, tries to journey to the lighthouse, a stormy boat ride away from his family’s summer vacation home. The life of his nurturing mother, hemmed in by social and family strictures, is contrasted with that of her artist friend who lives in artistic freedom, but alone.
