Treasure Island, Robinson Theatre
The Young Actors Company presents Treasure Island directed by Senior Stage Academy’s Matt Feast.
“Girls need adventure too, Mrs Hawkins.” On a dark night in Black Hill Cove, a mysterious figure carrying a sea chest appears at the Admiral Benbow Inn, plunging Jim, the innkeeper’s granddaughter, into a world of murder and mutiny.
Bryony Lavery has taken Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic adventure story and brought it to the stage in this exhilarating tale of pirates, betrayal, revenge, and of course, treasure.
