MS Play Treasure Island Performance

Based on the masterful adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, Treasure Island is a stunning yarn of piracy on the tropical seas. It begins at an inn on the Devon coast of England in 1775 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 pirate Anne Bonney, and the hideous form of evil incarnate, Pew. At the center of it all are Jim Hawkins, a 14-year-old who longs for adventure, and the infamous Long John Silver, who is a complex study of good and evil, perhaps the most famous hero-villain of all time. Silver is an unscrupulous buccaneer-rogue whose greedy quest for gold, coupled with an affection for Jim, cannot help but win the heart of every soul who has ever longed for treasure and adventure. A talented cast of 33 MS students bring this story to life. Running time: 60 mins. No intermission. Tickets: www.smes.org/boxoffice
