Treasure Island

by Robert Louis Stevenson
Adapted by Gari Jones

The Robert Louis Stevenson classic, originally written in 1883 and which created the archetype pirate, is here brought to life through theatrical magic in 2015.

Jim has three visitors, as if from dreams or nightmares, and life is never the same again. A journey of discovery and betrayal is re-imagined in an inventive and nutty new theatrical adaptation. Whilst retaining the narrative of Stevenson’s classic, with depth, integrity, a dash of thriller and a large amount of silliness, Gari Jones’s adaptation zips along like a wacky race brimming with pirate speak, off-the-wall characters and a whole heap of original shanties and brand new songs.

The original production was created in collaboration with Oxford’s Creation Theatre.

Gari Jones is a Director and Writer, with over twenty years experience, whose work has been seen at numerous Theatres throughout the UK and Internationally. He lives in Essex with his wife and three children.
