We hear the creak of rigging on a ship set adrift. As the lights begin to dim, we hear menacing, thrilling music building in the background. When a single spot is left illuminating the chest, the music comes to a crashing climax and quickly subsides to continue playing in the background. With the musical climax, the lid of the chest opens with a horrifying groan. Light starts to emanate from the chest, and the spotlight dims. Voices and the sounds of action begin to issue forth from the chest. The music continues underneath.)

Lighthouse design was his father's and his family's profession, so at age seventeen, he enrolled at Edinburgh University to study engineering, with the goal of following in the family business. Lighthouse design never appealed to Stevenson, though, and he began studying law instead. His spirit of adventure truly began to appear at this stage, and during his summer vacations he traveled to France to be around young writers and painters.

TREASURE ISLAND Reimagined! Based on the book by Robert Louis Stevenson SYNOPSIS Act I (50 minutes) Ahoy, Mateys! Join Jim Hawkins, Ben Gunn, Long John Silver, and the whole crew as they tell the classic story Treasure Island in an original and exciting version debuting at Dallas Children’s Theater! The play begins with Jim and Ben simultaneously telling their stories. Although their stories begin ten years apart, they were both deceived as young boys by the same scurvy pirate, Long John Silver. Year: 1871 Ben Gunn needs work after being abandoned by his father. He hears about a potential job working on Captain Flint’s pirate ship. Ben is dismayed when turned down by Flint, but soon meets Long John Silver who brings Ben on board Flint’s boat as the cabin boy. Year: 1881 Jim Hawkins and his friends are playing pirates when they are approached by an actual pirate, Billy Bones! Billy, protecting a chest he’s brought with him, tells the kids about Captain Flint’s lost treasure, the fifteen pirates who died burying it, and the pirate they need to beware of: the man with one-leg. When Jim’s mother approaches them, Billy asks for a room in the Hawkins’ inn. As she prepares his room, Billy warns Jim to look out for the one-legged man. That night, Jim has nightmares about a giant one-legged man. Year: 1871 Ben Gunn and Long John Silver sit together on the ship, looking at the stars. Long John tells Ben about the importance of constellations and the story of how proud Orion defeated every dangerous creature the gods sent his way until the gods sent a scorpion that killed Orion.

AO1 Mastery Therapy: Identify and Interpret Explicit and Implicit Information and Ideas and Select and Synthesise Evidence from Different Texts
AO1 Mastery Therapy: Identify and interpret explicit and implicit information and ideas and select and synthesise evidence from different texts. Language AO1 asks you to be able to summarise two texts identifying the similarities and differences. This extract is taken from Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson (1883), Chapter One: The Old Sea-dog at the Admiral Benbow. In this extract, Jim Hawkins re-tells a tale about an old pirate that resided with his family when he was a boy. I remember him as if it were yesterday, as he came plodding to the inn door, his sea-chest following behind him in a hand-barrow--a tall, strong, heavy, nut-brown man, his tarry pigtail falling over the shoulder of his soiled blue coat, his hands ragged and scarred, with black, broken nails, and the sabre cut across one cheek, a dirty, livid white. I remember him looking round the cover and whistling to himself as he did so, and then breaking out in that old sea-song that he sang so often afterwards: "Fifteen men on the dead man's chest-- Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!" in the high, old tottering voice that seemed to have been tuned and broken at the capstan bars. Then he rapped on the door with a bit of stick like a handspike that he carried, and when my father appeared, called roughly for a glass of rum. This, when it was brought to him, he drank slowly, like a connoisseur, lingering on the taste and still looking about him at the cliffs and up at our signboard.
