Tickets are now on sale for the Bristol Old Vic’s open air summer production of Treasure Island. While the historic theatre is being renovated, the stage comes outside to the cobbles of King Street in the city where Robert Louis Stevenson drew inspiration for his famous pirate tale.

Treasure Island will be performed in a specially designed open air theatre directly outside the theatre, the first fulfilment of the Old Vic’s promise to take their productions into Bristol while renovation work continues on the theatre.

Directed by Sally Cookson (Boing!, How Cold My Toes, Aesop’s Fables), Treasure Island follows in the footsteps of that other nautical tale Swallows and Amazons.

Treasure Island follows Long John Silver and Jim Hawkins as they set sail on in search of Captain Flint’s buried treasure.

Treasure Island will be performed on King Street from July 7 to August 26. Tickets cost from £7 and the show will be suitable for ages 6 and up.
