Piedmont Players Youth Production of TREASURE ISLAND Begins Tonight

Piedmont Players Theatre, along with Owen & Elizabeth Norvell, introduce the cast of TREASURE ISLAND by Robert Louis Stevenson in a new adaption by Ken Ludwig. The production will run tonight, May 9-11 & 16-18 at 7:30pm, with a matinee on May 12 at 2:30pm. Box Office Opens Mon. May 6th (Adults $12 Seniors/Students $10).

Based on the masterful adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, Treasure Island is a stunning yarn of piracy on the tropical seas. It begins at an inn on the Devon 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 (played unforgettably in the movies by Lionel Barrymore), 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.
