“This fun production is deeply serious.” Fringe Review
Seaward ho! Hang the treasure! It’s the glory of the sea that has turned my head.
When the fearsome sea-dog Captain Flint dies suddenly, Jim Hawkins and friends stumble on the key to a fortune. Landlubbers all their lives, they board the good ship Hispaniola with a crew hand-picked by the trusty cook, Long John Silver.
Hannah Khalil (RSC, Shakespeare’s Globe) recreates Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1883 novel in a show for pirates young and old, filled with sea-shanties and pieces of eight. Performers from the OT Young Company join forces with Carne Associate Director Natasha Rickman and a professional creative team for a swashbuckling adventure.
“Treasure Island has become a classic because of its essential human appeal: it makes adventurers of us all.” The Guardian
“If there is an art to telling a story, playwright Hannah Khalil possesses it” The Stage on Hakawatis at Shakespeare’s Globe
