🏴☠️✨ BRACE YOURSELF FOR SWASHBUCKLING ADVENTURE ON THE HIGH SEAS! ✨🏴☠️
This isn’t your quiet, dusty classic. This is Treasure Island at full throttle — packed with Ken Ludwig’s trademark rapid fire humour, razor sharp dialogue, and the kind of theatrical spectacle that keeps you gripping the edge of your seat.
The 1812 Theatre is about to unleash a storm of swashbuckling chaos with Ken Ludwig’s wildly theatrical adaptation of Treasure Island, directed by Erin O’Hare.
Follow Jim Hawkins as he’s hurled into a world of pirates, peril, and pulse pounding twists. Long John Silver schemes in the shadows, tempers flare, swords clash, and the story races forward with the speed of a cannon blast.
It’s bold. It’s boisterous. It’s bursting with wit. And it transforms the stage into a high stakes, high energy adventure you won’t want to miss.
⚓ Treasure awaits. Danger lurks. The countdown to this great adventure has begun.
Performances 6th to 29th August.
