"Seaward ho! Hang the treasure! It's the glory of the sea that has turned my head.”
Treasure Island with the UF Driveway Theatre Program
Written by Robert Louis Stevenson
Adapted by Derek Wohlust
PG | 1 hour
The legendary classic of the high seas performed as a radio play transforms Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic adventure into a vivid, sound-driven experience. Listeners follow Jim’s journey from the Admiral Benbow Inn to the high seas aboard the Hispaniola, encountering unforgettable characters like the cunning Long John Silver. The radio format heightens suspense and imagination, using music and atmospheric audio to capture the mystery, danger, and excitement of piracy and adventure on the open sea.
The program is sponsored in part by Visit Gainesville/Alachua County, FL.
