Treasure Island

Treasure Island 

By John Nicholson and Le Navet Bete

(adapted from the Novel by Robert Louis Stevenson)

Directed by Carol Buckley

Fourteen-year-old boy Jim Hawkins is serving ale in the Admiral Benbow Inn, when suddenly the door slams open and in strides Billy Bones, the infamous pirate, to change Jims life forever. Soon Jim finds himself onboard The Jolly Todgerand setting sail on the high seas. Alongside him, the crew includes Captain Birdseye, Black Dog, Blue Peter, the one-legged Long John Silver and a parrot called Alexa -and their destination: a mysterious tropical paradise in the Caribbean named Treasure Island. Or Skeleton Island. Depends who you ask.

This riotously funny, chaotic adaption of Robert Louis Stevenson’s beloved Treasure Island is a collaboration between Nicholson and the physical comedy theatre company La Nevet Bete, with four actors playing dozens of characters. Suitable for all, including children over 10 years.
