Description

Mercury Theatre

On The Air's

TREASURE ISLAND

by Robert Louis Stevenson

Produced, directed, scripted by Orson Welles

starring Orson Welles

Treasure Island is an adventure novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, narrating a tale of "buccaneers and buried gold". First published as a book in 1883, it was originally serialised in the children's magazine Young Folks between 1881-82 under the title The Sea Cook, or Treasure Island.

Traditionally considered a coming of age story it is an adventure tale known for its superb atmosphere, character and action, and also a wry commentary on the ambiguity of morality as seen in Long John Silver unusual for children's literature then and now. It is one of the most frequently dramatised of all novels. The influence of Treasure Island on popular perception of pirates is vast, including treasure maps with an 'X', black schooners, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen with parrots on their shoulders.
