Four actors are playing more than 30 roles in the stage adaptation of Treasure Island, currently showing at Greenwich Theatre.
Treasure Island, directed by James Haddrell and written by Le Navet Bete and John Nicholson, is showing at the south London theatre until Sunday (September 4).
Perfect for fans of the Greenwich Theatre pantomime, this “riotously chaotic” adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s beloved tale of pirates and buried treasure is set to be full of physical comedy, daft jokes, and thrilling adventure.
The story follows orphaned teenager Jim Hawkins, left in the careless care of Aunt Agnes, and is serving ale in the Admiral Benbow - when the infamous pirate Billy Bones crashes into the bar and changes his life forever.
Jim soon sets sail on the high seas with Captain Birdseye, Blue Peter, Long-John Silver and the parrot Alexa.
The cast of just four stars David Haller, Elliott Bornemann, Lauren Drennan and Helen Ramsay, are playing more than 30 roles throughout the production, with David Haller doubling up as musical director and the hero Jim Hawkins.

The show’s director James Haddrell said: “This year we’ve been lucky enough to secure a fantastic script from Le Navet Bete, a brilliant comic theatre company, so this will be unlike any production of Treasure Island that our audiences have seen before.
“Fans of the Greenwich pantomime will recognise a lot of the comedy style, but there’s much more besides.”
Treasure Island follows last year’s acclaimed production of Pinocchio in establishing the Greenwich Theatre summer show as a popular fixture in the borough’s cultural calendar.
