Treasure Island

English

By (author): Robert Louis Stevenson

So you read, and read, and read, and read, wishing you could just disappear. But some books dont make you disappear. They make you come alive. Local lad Robbie Stevenson lives in the smallest bedroom of the smallest house on the smallest street of Scotland. He prefers to hide away from the world inside the pages of his favourite book, Treasure Island. But, with a little bit of imagination, the book comes to life, and he is thrust aboard. For some children in Scotland like Robbie, opening their bedroom door each morning requires phenomenal amounts of bravery. Robbie soon finds that you cant stay hiding forever when he must learn to navigate his own course and to discover the world is full of treasure if youre brave enough to look. Ross MacKay's adaptation of the classic story Treasure Island invites you to embark on a global journey along the Forth and Clyde canal and into the vast ocean. Treasure Island is published in Methuen Drama's Plays for Young People series which offers suitable plays for young performers and audiences at schools, youth groups, and youth theatres. This edition was published to coincide with the Scottish tour starting in September 2024. See more
