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 Todger and 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.
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 col-laboration 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.
An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books

The pass costs £2 and is available from the Box Office upon presentation of a valid ticket for the current season or online when booking your tickets. Once purchased, it allows you to park for any evening performance throughout the season at no additional cost.
Please note that Trinity Square is a public council-operated car park and can be particularly busy on some evenings due to other nearby events and venues. Whilst the pass permits free parking, it does not guarantee the availability of a parking space. We therefore recommend arriving early where possible. -
