"Treasure Island" Episode 2 “Unearthing the Treasure”
“Unearthing the Treasure” features interviews with the director, cast and designers. Linfield Theatre Program presents Bryony Lavery’s play adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, directed by Janet Gupton. “Lavery’s adaptation appealed to me because she writes the role of Jim Hawkins to be played by a young woman. Lavery says the desire for adventure lives in ‘each of us - girl or boy, grandma or granddad,’ who wants to board ships, fight pirates and find hidden treasure,” says Gupton. Treasure Islandwill offer audiences a rollicking fun escapade with its array of distinctive, yet recognizable characters - the bully, the malcontent, the turncoat, the overlooked, and the charismatic, but dangerous Long John Silver with his sidekick parrot, “Captain Flint.” “We decided to come back with ‘swords’ a blazing and reignite everyone’s passion for live theatre. We are going to launch our 102nd consecutive season with no island stone left unturned,” says Gupton. Performance dates are Nov. 11-13 at 7:30 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 14 at 2 p.m., Nov. 18 and 19 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 20 at 2 p.m.in the Marshall Theatre in Ford Hall.
