This Christmas, join us at The Lyceum for our festive adaptation of Treasure Island.
It’s Christmas Eve and young Jim Hawkins works at North Edinburgh’s finest accommodation for reformed pirates and past-it privateers. Talk of cutlasses, ships and gold can be dangerous in such company. It’s not long before the story of their greatest voyage takes over… Jim, Ben Gunn and Lean Jean Silver are soon reliving their time hunting for treasure on the Hispaniola. Ahoy!
Pirate songs, adventures and heartfelt fun enliven Jim’s adventure as Billy Bones’ treasure map leads him north to the isles of Orkney in search of Captain Flint’s hidden fortune. Encountering plenty of puffins and buckets of swashbuckling, Jim tries to beat the pirates to the gold and get back home to Edinburgh safe and sound. Remember, X marks the spot… or does it?
This playful new adaption by Orkney playwright Duncan McLean is directed by Lyceum favourite Wils Wilson with songs from Tim Dalling. Adventure awaits! But best keep on the lookout for the Jolly Roger!

"Hello, its Lucia from Mix Up Theatre. Today I’m going to write a review on Treasure Island, a show our group went to see at the Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh. I loved the start because there was a really cool light that was swinging – the audience was left unsure of its purpose until all the pirates came out and swung their lights back and forth too. The story was really clear at the start because it showed a pirate care home where the owner, Jim, was struggling to keep the pirates calm and relaxed. I also enjoyed the puppet parrot that was held by a puppeteer and kept interrupting the conversations. My favourite
character was Jim (the main character) because he was really clever and brave against the tough pirates. I thought this was overall a great show that was really engaging. Its great for younger kids too. I recommend this show for everyone including adults. Thank you for listening. I rated it 4 stars out of five. 😊"
