Treasure Island

Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh 28 November ‘24-4 January ‘25

"Thus, in Wils Wilson’s production, Treasure Island is a tale that grows out of the bric-a-brac of a care home. On Alex Berry’s amorphous set, the residents co-opt a tea trolley, washtub and step ladder to tell a story that starts in Leith, where Lean Jean Silver runs a pie stall, and culminates not in the Caribbean but on a deserted Orkney island...it is a buoyant family show with an anarchic spirit and a delight in the power of the imagination.”

- Mark Fisher, The Guardian

"A playground of imagination, dark yet warm woods capture the enchantment of theatre at its most honest, a portal to the world of storytelling. The riggings, ropes, trapdoors, and even the structure of the Lyceum stage are put to some of the venue’s finest use with Alex Berry’s design.”

- Dominic Corr, Corr Blimey
