“Treasure Island”

This download is the actual script I used many years ago with our homeschool classical theater group.  (Apologies for small typos if you find some!)  To make staging easier (and slightly less violent), I have the story being told as a bedtime tale, with the mother and child at the side of the stage.   I also added names for members of the group of pirates and gave each at least a line or two.  This is wonderful if you are doing the play with a large group of little boys who all want to be pirates but who don’t want a lot of lines. Overall, though, I tried to really stay true to the actual novel as best I could.  ( I do not like plays and movies that change too much from the original book, so I always try to be as faithful as possible to the original work.)
