All aboard for a swashbuckling premiere of a pirate classic!
First published in 1883, Treasure Island has remained one of the greatest adventure stories of all time. With its colourful characters and fast-paced storyline, it’s a tale that transcends the generations.
Young Jim Hawkins finds a map leading to the legendary 'Treasure Island'. But the journey is more than just a hunt for gold; it’s a thrilling game of cat-and-mouse against the charismatic but dangerous Long John Silver. From the fog-drenched quays of Bristol to the tropical shores of the Caribbean, our heroes must navigate mutiny, mystery, and the search for what truly matters.
Treasure Island didn't just tell a story; it defined the entire pirate genre as we know it. From 'X marks the spot' maps to the one-legged sea cook with a parrot on his shoulder, Stevenson’s imagination spawned the ultimate blueprint for high-seas adventure. Over the last century, the tale has proven its status as an enduring classic through countless adaptations.
Now, in a new musical version making its debut at The Grove Theatre, Treasure Island comes to life once more! This foot-stomping, harmony-filled spectacular blends the salt-spray grit of authentic sea shanties with the soaring melodies and wit of light opera.
Strictly not a pantomime, this family-friendly voyage stays true to the heart of the original book while bringing a fresh, modern energy to the stage
