Set to a compelling, contemporary score and adapted from Stevenson’s classic tale, this new musical reintroduces this timeless story to today’s audiences. In a time when greed has been the catalyst for widespread turmoil, this new musical deconstructs the path often taken and explores the resulting loss of innocence. Through the eyes of its young hero, Treasure Island reexamines the essence of heroism, the journey to maturity and the strength of the human spirit in the face of extreme conditions. World Premiere – The Arkansas Repertory Theatre -- 2013.
