Treasure Island at Sidney Harman Hall

Pirates, as a rule, aren't minimalists. For a tale that looms as large in the imagination as Treasure Island, you have to go all out. Abstract sets and "ironic" costumes have to be chucked overboard, in favor of awe-inducing set pieces several stories high, lavish costumes and the kind of showmanship that takes no prisoners. The National Theatre in London knows this and their thrilling new stage adaptation of the Robert Louis Stevenson classic restores the luster to this tale of pirates' gold -- as well as adding darkness, excitement and incredible energy. Arthur Darvill (Doctor Who) stars as Long John Silver in this astonishing adventure. Enjoy Stevenson's story of murder, money and mutiny in HD at Sidney Harman Hall.
