This summer, the Dukes in Lancaster will celebrate three decades of promenading in the park with a visit to Treasure Island.
The theatre’s reputation for walkabout productions is such that it won the 2016 UK Theatre Award for Best Show for Children and Young People with its version of The Hobbit last year.
The team behind last year’s sell-out production are giving Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novel a new twist for 2017.
Director Joe Sumsion said, “Treasure Island is a fantastic story and our version will offer an amazing journey for a child—in fact, for anyone—to go on. I think people love the idea of adventure on the high seas and, for us, theatrically, there’s lots of exciting potential.”
Treasure Island will be performed in Williamson Park from July 4 to August 12.
