Treasure Island – A Swashbuckling Comedy Adventure at Oxford Playhouse
Presented by Le Navet Bete & Barbican Theatre
Prepare to laugh your sea boots off as Le Navet Bete and Barbican Theatre bring their side-splitting, high-energy version of Treasure Island to the Oxford Playhouse. This family-friendly smash hit is the perfect treat for adventurers of all ages.
Join the hapless crew aboard the Jolly Todger — including the eager young Jim Lad, the slippery Long John Silver, and a cast of outrageous characters (plus one unforgettable mermaid!) — as they set sail on a chaotic quest for buried treasure. But with double-crossing pirates, secret maps, and mistaken identities at every turn, will they ever find the fabled island? And does ‘X’ really mark the spot?
This bold and bonkers retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novel comes from Le Navet Bete, the multi award-winning physical comedy troupe behind King Arthur: A Legendary Comedy. They've teamed up with acclaimed writer/director John Nicholson (Peepolykus, BBC Radio 4) to deliver a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud show packed with slapstick, silliness, and theatrical invention.
Expect larger-than-life performances, ingenious staging, and non-stop entertainment in a show hailed as:
