Description

When Jim Hawkins finds the map to a legendary treasure, he embarks on a perilous voyage to claim it. His journey leads him to uncover a pirate mutiny, a chance meeting with a marooned misfit and ultimately to the discovery of what kind of person he wants to be. Robert Louis Stevenson’s beloved coming-of-age adventure story is given a bold new stage adaptation by Governor General’s Award winning playwright Nicolas Billon.
