A classic adventure that shines anew in the cupola hall

At JTB at Thalia, Robert Louis Stevenson's great adventure story returns as a condensed stage event: Treasure Island tells the tale of Jim Hawkins, a treasure map, a dangerous journey, and a myth of seduction through gold, power, and mutiny. The Young Theater Bonn presents the story for audiences from 8 years old in a new staging by Andreas Lachnit, with about 80 minutes of playtime and no intermission.

When literature turns into theater atmosphere

Even the setup is appealing: Jim Hawkins looks back as an older narrator on his youth, and on stage, memories, danger, and departure materialize in rapid succession. The novel is not transformed into a museum piece but into a vibrant stage experience that turns the cupola hall into a place of excitement. Two actors take on around 40 roles in the JTB version, giving the production a high tempo and precise acting art.

Dramaturgy with pirate powder and psychological sharpness

Stevenson's material unfolds all its power in the theater: the journey of the Hispaniola, Long John Silver as a charismatic seducer, and the uncertainty between loyalty and betrayal. The set design by Katharina Savvides and the sound design by Christian Steinborn support the dramaturgy with clear images and acoustic tension. This creates an evening that arouses both a desire for adventure and a sense of unease.

A classic that reaches both audience and critics

The press reviews of the JTB evening paint a clear picture: The production is described as a fast-paced theater adventure, a colorful playground of acting, and an impressive festival of facial expressions, body language, movement, and vocal variations. This is precisely the strength of this family piece: It takes young viewers seriously and offers adult companions a classic in a concentrated, fresh form.
