🏴☠️✨ BRACE YOURSELF FOR ADVENTURE ON THE HIGH SEAS! ✨🏴☠️
The 1812 Theatre is gearing up to unleash a storm of swashbuckling chaos with Ken Ludwig’s wildly theatrical adaptation of Treasure Island, directed by Erin O’Hare.
This isn’t your quiet, dusty classic. This is Treasure Island at full throttle — packed with Ludwig’s trademark rapid fire humour, razor sharp dialogue, and the kind of theatrical spectacle that keeps you gripping the edge of your seat.
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 the next great 1812 Theatre adventure has begun.
Stay tuned — the voyage is about to begin
Performances 6th to 29th August.

📖✨ A Tale is About to Be Spun at The 1812 Theatre… ✨📖
Need something magical to entertain the children during the school holidays…?
Gather round, dear friends, for a whimsical adventure is about to unfold on our stage!
From 29 June to 5 July, at 10:30am and 1:30pm each day, The 1812 Theatre proudly presents Rumpelstiltskin, a delightful pantomime written by Chris Hodson—full of mischief, magic, and just a pinch of mayhem.
🌟 Meet Our Storytellers! Every great fairy tale needs a guiding voice, and ours comes from the wonderful Susan Collier, stepping into the role of the Narrator. With warmth and sparkle, she’ll lead you through forests, castles, and curious twists of fate.
But beware… for in the shadows lurks a certain mysterious trickster. 🌀 Enter James Anderson as Rumpelstiltskin—mischievous, cunning, and ready to spin trouble (and maybe a little gold) wherever he goes.
Bring your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and anyone young at heart. Expect laughter, surprises, and a story that dances right off the page and onto the stage.
🎭✨ Let the magic begin… ✨🎭

🎭The Lady Killers is about to enter its 3rd week🎭
Don’t miss this classic British dark comedy where nothing seems to go to plan for a gang of hopeless criminals posing as a string quintet.
Their “perfect heist” quickly unravels into symphony of chaos, and the only person standing in their way is the sweet but unshakeable London widow, Mrs Wilberforce – indeed a force to be reckoned with.
The Ladykillers brings you:
🎻 A “string quintet” that can’t play a song
💼 A heist plan that unravels faster than a knitted scarf
👵 One determined little old lady who refuses to be fooled
It’s charming, chaotic, and irresistibly British — the perfect night out.
📍 Now playing at The 1812 Theatre come for the comedy, stay for the music..!!
