This summer, prepare to embark on a swashbuckling adventure as Off the Ground Theatre celebrates its 30th year of touring with a bold new production of Treasure Island. Returning to venues across the North West, Wales, and Ireland, this beloved company will bring Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic pirate tale to life right on our doorstep—at Royden Park on 1st and 2nd August.
A story of mystery, danger, and buried gold, Treasure Island follows young Jim Hawkins, a boy captivated by tales of pirates and longing for a life of adventure. When his family falls on hard times, he finds himself swept into a high-seas escapade alongside the infamous Long John Silver and his unruly crew. This fresh adaptation offers a modern twist, exploring how influencer culture can seduce young minds into perilous ideals—making this a relevant, thrilling retelling for all generations.
Set amidst the scenic beauty of Royden Park, the performances will take place outdoors, offering a truly immersive theatrical experience beneath the summer sky. Visitors are encouraged to bring chairs, blankets, or picnic rugs to get comfortable, and to dress for the weather—performances will continue in most conditions, but may be cancelled in the event of severe rain or storms.
