Thrill-seeking teen Jim Hawkins is fed up with her humdrum life on land, and longs for adventure on the stormy seas.
So when she discovers Billy Bones’ extraordinary and infamous map, promising a daring mission to a faraway island with secret hidden treasures, it seems all her wishes have come true.
With Squire Trelawney, Captain Smollett and the mysterious Long John Silver, she sets sail on a once-in-a-lifetime quest. But with ghostly creatures to encounter and swordfights aplenty to overcome, can her devious crew be trusted and will they ever be able to find where X marks the spot?
From a Bristol tavern to the mighty ocean waves, join Hawkins as she gets into pirate-y peril aboard the mighty Hispaniola. Whether landlubber or salty seadog, you’ll be on the edge of your seat and tapping your toes to an infectiously catchy new score!
Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale is brought to life as a brand-new musical by Jake Brunger and Pippa Cleary (the writing duo behind West End hits The Great British Bake OffMusical and The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13¾). Directed by Paul Foster (Curtains; A Little Night Music), Treasure Island: A New Musical Adventure is a story of friendship, hope and reaching for dreams just beyond the horizon.
Full of heart, joy, and showstopping musical numbers, what better reason to chart a course to Bristol Old Vic this Christmas? Yo Ho Ho!
