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 John 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.
Director: Michael Futcher
Designer: Josh McIntosh
Composer: Phil Slade
“Isabel absolutely loved this play and was enthralled throughout. All the children were completely hooked. The adaptation was so skilful they had no trouble following all the different characters and there was plenty of excitement with skeletons popping out of cupboards, pirate songs and treasure. It’s great to be able to introduce kids to the classics in such an entertaining way.” Parent of a 10 year old audience member
“All of our students loved it and many said it was the best play they’d ever seen. Thank you for bringing this to us as it was such a valuable experience for our kids.” Robyn Corbett, Principal, Aloomba State School
“I liked the play because it was funny. My favourite part was when they found the treasure" Indy, six years old
“I thought Treasure Island was awesome.” John, seven years old
Suitable for families (Dads will love it), children aged 8 years and older.
