Treasure Island

Treasure Island - 17th to 19th July 2025

Fourteen-year-old Jim Hawkins is serving ale in The Admiral Benbow Inn – when suddenly the door slams open and in strides Billy Bones, the infamous pirate, to change Jim's life forever… 

Soon, Jim finds himself on board The Jolly Todger and setting sail on the high seas. Alongside him, the crew includes Captain Birdseye, Black Dog, Blue Peter, the one-legged Long John Silver, and a parrot called Alexa – and their destination: a mysterious tropical paradise in the Caribbean named Treasure Island. Or Skeleton Island. Depends who you ask. 

This riotously chaotic adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's beloved Treasure Island is a collaboration between John Nicholson (The Hound of the Baskervilles) and the physical-comedy theatre company Le Navet Bete.

Following the critical acclaim of Young Theatre's 2024 production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream", we will be presenting Treasure Island in the round.

Seating will be at tables, of up to 10 people, so why not put together a party and enjoy the adventures of Jim Hawkins, Billy Bones, Long John Silver, Captain Birdseye, pirates and Greta Thunberg (yes that is correct) at The Curzon Centre this coming July.
