When a mysterious pirate takes lodging at the inn run by Jim's mother, it sets in motion the adventure of a lifetime.
On his deathbed, the infamous Billy Bones entrusts Jim with a map to the legendary Treasure Island. With the help of a well-meaning — and slightly bumbling — doctor, Jim sets sail in search of buried treasure and the promise of something greater.
But not everyone aboard can be trusted. A motley crew of pirates plot and deceive as the journey unfolds — yet Jim's kindness and courage begin to soften even the toughest hearts, including that of the formidable Long John Silver.
This lively, pantomime-inspired adaptation of the classic tale is filled with humour, audience interaction, and larger-than-life characters. Runtime: 1 hour.
Perfect for: Families, grandparents and grandchildren, school groups, summer camps, and anyone who believes adventure should be shared.
