Treasure Island, Stamford Shakespeare Company

Join the Stamford Shakespeare Company for their performance of Treasure Island, in the stunning grounds of Tolethorpe Hall, Rutland Open Air Theatre.

One of Europe's finest theatre venues, Tolethorpe Hall is home to the Rutland Open Air Theatre where the resident Stamford Shakespeare Company present an annual season of plays across June, July and August.

One dark and stormy night, Jim opens the door of the Admiral Benbow Inn to a terrifying stranger, and a frightening seafaring adventure begins.

In this modern version of Treasure Island, adapted for the National Theatre to critical acclaim in 2014, Jim is reimagined as the granddaughter of the innkeeper, Grandma Hawkins. It is her tale of a perilous voyage to Treasure Island, and her encounter with swashbuckling pirates and the villainous Long John Silver, and his parrot, Flint, that we follow. On her journey, Jim must deal with both murder and deception, but through it all she forges bonds of friendship, resilience and, ultimately, survival.

Join in this summer in Lincolnshire, as the Tolethorpe stage comes alive with the sights and sounds of the high seas, of pirates and a hunt for treasure.
