Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson

Adapted for the stage by Helen Howard & Michael Futcher
A performance for children aged 8 and above
Co-produced by Queensland Theatre Company and Matrix Theatre

Pirates, buried treasure, sword fights, treasure maps, muskets!

Join twelve year old Jim Hawkins on his hunt for buried treasure. But watch out . . . . there are double-crossing pirates all around, led by the notorious Long Jonh Silver. Will Jim make it from his home in a small seaside village to the mysterious Treasure Island?

Queensland Theatre Company and Matrix Theatre bring you this classic children’s story, in a new adaptation with sixteen characters and two actors.

A magical coming of age story, and the original classic pirate tale, Treasure Island explores themes of adventure and escapism, coming of age, role models and overcoming fears.

A magical theatrical experience for the whole family.

Treasure Island will be touring in 2012 to Regional Queensland, Western Australia, New South Wales and Victoria.
