Treasure Island is the ancestral mother, grandfather and Big Bang of all pirate adventures. The parrots, wooden legs and skull and crossbones that everyone knows come from the pages of this work. The adventure is set in motion when Jim Hawkings, a young innkeeper's son, accidentally gets his hands on an old pirate Captain Flint's treasure map, and together with old magistrate Dr Livesey, they set off to find the treasure. Of course, the map is also being sought after by the most fearsome pirates of the seas.

But who can ultimately be trusted? What is the most valuable treasure of all?

This classic novel gets an upbeat, family-friendly interpretation under Markus Järvenpää's direction, as a five-strong cast of actors and musicians embark on an adventure with swords drawn and sails set. The great adventure is naturally accompanied by great music, which will take you to the waves, to Treasure Island and hopefully back home safe and sound!
