We Happy Few sail the high seas in May 2019 with the classic swashbuckling story of adventure, betrayal, and pirates' treasure (And rum! Don't forget the rum!) Performing at Otis Street Arts Project, CHAW, Republic Restoratives, and Dwell DC.
Helen Hayes Recommended We Happy Few (PERICLES, 2018) continues its Classics-in-Action series with a new adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's seminal pirate story Treasure Island. Showcasing our signature ensemble casting and collaborative devising process, our team of four actors bring to life a crew of villainous pirates to threaten young Jim Hawkins on his quest to find buried gold. Treasure Island is a pop up performance and will be presented in a wide range of venues throughout May and June. Catch it at the Otis Street Arts Project, Capitol Hill Arts Workshop, Republic Restoratives, and Dwell DC.
All's fair in love and gold.
