Treasure Island
Work:: Treasure Island (S5343)
Stevenson's story of pirates, double crossing and treasure.
Treasure Island follows Young Jim Hawkins and his motley crew across the ocean in their search for hidden pirate spoils. With mutiny in the air they soon face deadly peril from the most ruthless pirate to ever terrorise the seven seas - Long John Silver! So can young 'Jim Lad' out-wit the scoundrel and live to claim the treasure?
Production:: (T1165559617)
Robert Louis Stevenson's 1883 classic is brought to life with theatrical magic on the beautiful South Lawn of Wycliffe Hall. Jim has three visitors and life is never the same again. This journey of discovery and betrayal is re-imagined in an inventive theatrical adaptation by Gari Jones, whose 'Christmas Carol' for Creation delighted audiences last Christmas at the North Wall. Whilst retaining the narrative of Stevenson's classic, with depth, integrity, a dash of thriller and a large amount of silliness, Gari Jones' adaptation zips along like a wacky race brimming with pirate speak, off-the-wall characters and a whole heap of sea shanties. Treasure Island will be performed on the beautiful lawn in front of Wycliffe Hall, as well as on tour in Oxfordshire and beyond.
