Berkeley Rep Extends TREASURE ISLAND
Due to an overwhelming positive response from audiences, the swashbuckling adventure, Treasure Island, will continue to set sail on the Hispaniola at Berkeley Rep. The theatre has announced that the latest adventure from Mary Zimmerman will extend for an additional two weeks. Originally scheduled to close on June 5, the critically acclaimed play will run through Sunday, June 19. Starting today, Friday May 6 at noon, tickets for the added 16 performances can be purchased online at berkeleyrep.org or by phone at 510 647.2949.
In Treasure Island, Mary Zimmerman takes us aboard the Hispaniola for a heart-pounding voyage filled with tales of swashbuckling gentlemen o' fortune, a malicious mutiny led by infamous Long John Silver, and a deadly quest for fabled buried booty. Caught in the middle is cabin boy Jim Hawkins, who must find uncommon courage as he faces a murderous plot and navigates the ambiguous tides of morality.
Treasure Island marks the return of local Bay Area favorite Steven Epp as Long John Silver. Epp performed last year in Berkeley Rep's Tartuffe and has appeared in 12 other Berkeley Rep productions. Other cast members include John Babbo (Jim Hawkins), Matt DeCaro (Squire Trelawny), Travis Delgado (Constable Dance/Dick), Christopher Donahue (Billy Bones/Redruth), Kasey Foster (Mrs. Hawkins/Musician), Greg Hirte (Musician), Anthony Irons (Pew/Others), Alex Moggridge (Dr. Livesey), Steve Pickering (Black Dog/Ben Gunn), L.J. Slavin (Musician), Philip R. Smith (Captain Smollett), Demetrios Troy (Israel Hands), and Matthew C. Yee (Abraham Gray/Musician).
The creative team includes: Todd Rosenthal (scenic designer), Ana Kuzmanic (costume designer), T.J. Gerckens (lighting designer), and Andre Pluess (original music/sound designer).
