The KCC production features a cast of 12 in elaborate period costumers performing an action-packed show that playwright Ludwig describes as “a breathtaking yarn of piracy on the high seas.”
Concord Theatricals, which licenses the play, summarizes the plot as follows:
“At the center of it all are Jim Hawkins, a 14-year-old boy 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.”
The play is based on Stevenson’s classic by the same name, first published in 1883.
Please note: This performance is intended for all ages but does contain swashbuckling, intense action and swordplay. Parental guidance is encouraged for those under 13.
