Based on the book by Robert Louis Stevenson
‘Quirk Theatre captivates, enthrals and enthuses youngsters in this neat re-invention.’

‘Totally grips young imaginations.’
WESTERN MORNING NEWS
It is 1953 and wartime sugar rationing has finally ended. Jess Hawkins and her gang, dreaming of humbugs, gobstoppers and pineapple chunks, slip into old Mr Jenks garden, just like they do every afternoon after school. Jenks has never caught them not until today that is.
Mr Jenks is a gardener but he is also a pirate! Threatening them with the Black Spot, he takes them on a wild adventure on the high seas meeting bloodthirsty Black Dog, mad Ben Gunn and the infamous one-legged pirate, Long John Silver. Before long Jess and her gang dont know if they are in a 1950s garden or on an uncharted desert island where X marks the spot!
For adventurers age 5 and over!
‘The audience were captivated from start to finish
. innovative, imaginative and incredibly inventive.’
EXPRESS AND ECHO (on The Emperor’s Perfume)
