When young Jim Hawkins is left a treasure map by the dying buccaneer Billy Bones, he sets sail on the Hispaniola in search of the island. Among the crew, the one-legged Long John Silver becomes his greatest friend, but Silver has a shocking secret in store, and when they reach their destination, Jim faces danger and adventure greater than he could ever have imagined. In this adaptation of the classic tale, written in 2007, Stuart Paterson has kept close to Stevenson’s original novel, resulting in a fresh and thrilling play both to watch and perform.
