“Fifteen men on a dead man’s chest – yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!” The thrills of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic pirate story Treasure Island is being recreated for modern audiences at St Mary on the Quay Arts Centre this summer.
The story has been adapted for stage by Sarah Slator with music by Simon Stallard from touring company This Is My Theatre.
This swashbuckling tale will capture the atmosphere of the fast-paced 18th century adventure and will be brought to life with sea shanties and sword fights galore.
