TREASURE ISLAND by John O’Hara

£6.00

Charlie Durkis, an ordinary fellow from today (and a would be pirate) is accidentally trapped in the world of TREASURE ISLAND–and embarks on an adventure with Jim Hawkins, Long John Silver and the rest of the motley crew of treasure seekers. The unique aspect of this script is that it takes place at your theatre and many local in-jokes can be inserted.
