LONG JOHN SILVER

Male, 40s+,  the ship’s cook, charismatic, a cunning manipulator; a brilliant chameleon.  He is agile and commanding despite his wooden leg.  An ironic father figure to Jim.  Navigates his wide emotional range with prowess and unpredictability.  A man of many colors – all of them charming, none of them trustworthy.  Baritone.

MOTHER MARY HAWKINS

Female, 30s, recent widow; strong, opinionated, kind and loving but worn with the work and responsibility of her life.  Runs the Inn after recent death of her husband.  Tough but loving with Jim.  Intolerant of Billy Bones and not afraid to stand up to anyone.  Mezzo with belt.

ISRAEL HANDS

Male, 35+, black hearted, isolated.  Captain Flint’s gunner at one time, presently the ship’s coxswain.  Sharp and methodic.  Bass/Baritone; BLACK DOG, male, 35+, Tim Burton-esque creature missing two fingers on left hand, strongly in pursuit of the map.  Eerie, prone to violence, short tempered.  Bass.
