This exciting new version of the Robert Louis Stevenson classic adventure classic, ‘Treasure Island’ has been adapted for the stage by Stuart Paterson who has returned to the original book to bring to life an amazing tale that will reintroduce Stevenson’s great story to the theatre.

Neal Foster, Birmingham Stage Company’s Actor/Manager said: “There is a wonderful story in Stevenson’s great novel which has got lost in recent stage productions of the book. The BSC is doing what it does best and going back to the original story to reintroduce this fantastic tale to the theatre in all its dramatic glory.”

The cast of 10 is led by Gavin Robertson as Long John Silver. Gavin is fresh from London’s West End where he recently played in the box office hit ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’ with Hollywood star, Christian Slater.  John Cockerill plays Jim Hawkins and the company also includes: Leo Aitken, Graeme Dalling, Brendan Foster, Nigel Harris, Anthony Houghton, Christopher Llewellyn, Lawrence Stubbings and Matthew Weyland.
