The stage adaptation by Bryony Lavery brings to life Robert Louis Stevenson's story of murder, money and mutiny. On a dark, stormy night, Jim Hawkins, an innkeeper's granddaughter, opens the door to a terrifying stranger. At the old sailor's feet sits a huge sea chest full of secrets. Jim invites him in and her dangerous journey begins.

The production is directed by Open Stage artistic director Stuart Landon. It features one of largest casts in the history of the theater company, highlighting Gabrielle Dina as Jim Hawkins and Sean Adams as Long John Silver.

The set design is credited to Stuart Landon and Chris Gibson, with set dressing by Karen Ruch, scenic painting by Heather Jannetta, and property design by Becky Arney. Costume and puppet design is by Jennifer Kilander, wigs are by Diane Rothrock, and Stacy Reck is stage manager.

The book "Treasure Island" introduced many notions about pirates that are now iconic. Some adopted associations include how pirates look and speak, the one-legged seaman, black-sailed ships, and treasure maps marked with an "X." These influences can be seen in pop culture films such as the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series and "Peter Pan." These classic influences also appear in the stage adaptation.
