Gainesville Community Playhouse presents Treasure Island

Directed by: Sandra Wilcox
By Robert Louis Stevenson
Adapted by: Ken Ludwig

Picture a world where pirates rule what we call Earth. Humanity's desire to find hidden treasures will take them to heights they never imagined. Based on the masterful adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, Treasure Island is an epic adventure from Ken Ludwig. It begins at an inn on the Devon coast of England and quickly becomes an unforgettable tale of treachery and mayhem featuring a host of legendary swashbucklers including the dangerous Billy Bones, the sinister two-timing Israel Hands, the brassy woman pirate Anne Bonney, and the hideous form of evil incarnate Blind Pew. Sail the vastness of space to find Captain Flint’s treasure in this coming of age tale that is out of this world! Join Jim Hawkins, as he navigates the universe longing for adventure with the infamous Long John Silver, perhaps the most famous hero-villain of all time. Silver’s greedy quest for gold, coupled with his affection for Jim, cannot help but win the heart of every soul who has ever longed for romance, treasure, and adventure.
