The classic tale of adventure, Treasure Island, by Robert Louis Stevenson and adapted by Ken Ludwig, will be presented November 17, 18, and 19, 2011 at 7:30PM at the Bordentown Performing Arts Center. This production will be performed by the students of Bordentown Regional High School. Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for seniors and students.

Based on the masterful adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, Treasure Island by Ken Ludwig is a stunning yarn of piracy on the tropical seas. It begins at an inn on the coast of England in 1775 and quickly becomes an unforgettable tale of treachery and mayhem featuring a host of legendary swashbucklers including the dangerous Billy Bones, the sinister two-timing Israel Hands, the brassy woman pirate Anne Bonney, and the hideous form of evil incarnate, Blind Pew. At the center of it all are Jim Hawkins, a 14-year-old boy who longs for adventure, and the infamous Long John Silver, who is a complex study of good and evil, perhaps the most famous hero-villain of all time. Silver is an unscrupulous buccaneer-rogue whose greedy quest for gold, coupled with his affection for Jim, cannot help but win the heart of every soul who has ever longed for romance, treasure and adventure. This exciting story of swords, buried treasure and pirates is not to be missed!
Prior to the Friday evening performance, the BRHS Theatre Club Parent Boosters will be sponsoring a Dinner and a Show in the school cafeteria. $20 includes salad, beverage, a pasta dinner, and dessert, as well a ticket to that evening’s performance. Tickets to this event must be purchased in advance at www.showtix4u.com.
