Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1883 classic is brought to life with theatrical magic on the beautiful South Lawn of Wycliffe Hall.

Jim has three visitors and life is never the same again. This journey of discovery and betrayal is re-imagined in an inventive theatrical adaptation by Gari Jones, whose ‘Christmas Carol’ for Creation delighted audiences last Christmas at the North Wall.

Whilst retaining the narrative of Stevenson’s classic, with depth, integrity, a dash of thriller and a large amount of silliness, Gari Jones’ adaptation zips along like a wacky race brimming with pirate speak, off-the-wall characters and a whole heap of sea shanties. Treasure Island will be performed on the beautiful lawn in front of Wycliffe Hall, as well as on tour in Oxfordshire and beyond.  Suitable for all ages.

University of Oxford

We’re delighted to welcome you to George Orwell’s classic political fable in an adaptation bristling with satire. The animals have thrown off their human oppressors, but a new political elite are rising, and want to make Animal Farm ‘great again’. But at what cost? Join us for a riotous retelling of this timeless novel featuring Creation’s rep company.
