商品簡介
This play, adapted for stage by Millie Hardy-Sims, is based on the 1883 childrens novel of the same name, written by Robert Louis Stevenson. A story which paved the way for the image of pirates as we know them, Treasure Island is a story of hardship, loyalty, coming-of-age and adventure which has delighted audiences for over 130 years. "Beware the one legged man." It is the late 18th century. Piracy is rife amongst the seas and many coastal towns live in fear. Young Jemima Hawkins lives with her Mother in their rundown hostel along the Bristol Coast. They've seen better days, and just as things are looking desperate for the Admiral Benbow Inn, a stranger appears seeking shelter. He is brash, tattooed, scarred and permanently drunk. His appearance in the inn quickly brings down bad fortune upon the Hawkins family. Their quiet inn is soon host to many bloodthirsty and brutal pirates who are in search of one thing - a map to the treasure of the long dead notorious Captain Flint. Little do they know Jem has already found the map and fled the inn, a warning ringing in her ears... "Beware the one legged man." Jem soon finds herself on a seafaring adventure in search of the treasure, accompanied by family friend Doctor Livesey, fierce Captain Martha Smollett, silver-tongued Squire Trelawney and a salty sea-cook by the name of Long John Silver. Along the journey they must battle storms, find what to do with drunken sailors and encounter evil sirens intent on dragging them to the depths of Davey Jones Locker. All that, and a rumour that there be pirates.
