Something quite different this lunchtime at the Cameo. (And showing at other venues across the city this week)
An exciting new family-friendly production of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic pirate adventure streamed live from a National Theatre production. On a dark and stormy night, innkeeper’s grand-daughter Jim opens the door to a terrifying old seadog. In his giant chest full of secrets lurks a map to an island where a legendary pirate buried a massive hoard of treasure. So begins Jim’s incredible, dangerous and swashbuckling adventure that brings her up against the dreaded Long John Silver!
