Event Details

The granddaddy of all pirate stories comes to life in a whole new format as a live-action graphic novel. In this adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, three performers provide all the character voices and sound effects live as more than 1,200 comic-book panels blast one by one on a huge screen to tell an on-the-edge-of-your-seat tale of danger and adventure for the kid in everyone. The story follows Jane Hawkins, a twelve-year-old in 1754 Britain, who works at a sleepy seaside inn. When a sinister vagabond arrives with a mysterious trunk, Jane’s humdrum life swerves towards adventure. Treasure Island Reimagined is produced by Chemistry Laboratories and Shaw Entertainment Group.
