Treasure Island

By Bryony Lavery

“Not one of us must breathe a word of what we’ve found…”

On a wild and stormy night, Jim Hawkins, the inn-keeper’s fearless granddaughter, opens the door to a mysterious stranger. At his feet lies a heavy sea-chest packed with secrets that will change her life forever. With that single brave decision, Jim is swept into a world of pirates, peril and buried treasure, where loyalty is tested, danger lurks in every shadow, and nothing is quite what it seems.

Bryony Lavery’s electrifying adaptation of Treasure Island brings Robert Louis Stevenson’s legendary tale roaring to life with bold storytelling, thrilling adventure and unforgettable characters. From the treacherous charm of Long John Silver to the heart-pounding race for hidden gold, this is a story of courage, betrayal and the irresistible call of the unknown.

First premiered at the National Theatre in 2014, this gripping version crackles with energy, humour and suspense. Performed by the talented pupils of Oundle School, Treasure Island promises a swashbuckling theatrical experience for all ages – packed with danger, discovery and the timeless magic of adventure on the high seas.

Developments in Flight Pioneered in the UK

With Ray Cilia

About The Performance

Come along to hear a fascinating talk on the Evolution of Flight Pioneered in the UK.

This presentation explores the evolution of UK innovation in aviation; a journey through time exploring key pioneering discoveries.

It begins with Sir George Cayley, who established the scientific principles of flight, with a demonstration of laminae airflow and exploring Bernoulli's principle through active participation!

From the Airships of WW1 to advancements in design with aircraft like the Spitfire, which refined the idea of a mono-skinned frame to the advent of the jet engine by Frank Whittle’s which transformed speed and power.

Moving to the introduction of passenger jets such as the Comet and VC-10 marked the global expansion of air travel for the UK transatlantic, often seen as the golden age of aviation.

Later innovations pushed boundaries further—like the BAE Harrier, which challenged traditional flight constraints, and Concorde, which achieved supersonic travel but highlighted the balance between ambition and practicality.

Modern aircraft like the Boeing 787 Dreamliner reflect a shift toward efficiency, sustainability, and advanced engineering.

The presentation concludes by looking ahead to the future of flight, focusing on electric and environmentally friendly technologies, as aviation continues to evolve toward a more sustainable era.

A Monster Calls

Based on the novel by Patrick Ness

Devised by The Company

Performed by Oundle School Drama Scholars

About The Performance

A Monster Calls is a stage adaptation of the novel by Patrick Ness, centred on a young boy named Conor O’Malley. Conor is struggling to cope with his mother’s terminal illness, bullying at school, and his difficult relationship with his grandmother. One night, a giant monster in the shape of a yew tree appears outside his window and begins visiting him at exactly 12:07 each night.

Rather than simply frightening Conor, the monster tells him three stories, each containing complicated moral lessons about truth, grief, anger, and human nature. In return, the monster demands that Conor tell a fourth story — his own truth. As Conor’s emotional pain grows, he is forced to confront the guilt and fear he has been hiding about his mother’s condition.

The play explores themes of loss, love, courage, and the complexity of emotions during grief. By the end, Conor finally accepts the truth about his feelings and learns that it is possible to love someone deeply while still wanting their suffering to end. The story is both heartbreaking and hopeful, showing how imagination can help people face difficult realities.

The UN Inspector

by David Farr

Directed & Performed by Oundle School Pupils

About The Performance

Chaos, corruption, and comedy collide in The UN Inspector, David Farr’s brilliantly sharp modern adaptation of Gogol’s classic satire The Government Inspector. Set in a crumbling dictatorship on the brink of political disaster, the story follows an ordinary British businessman who is mistakenly identified as a powerful UN inspector sent to uncover corruption at the heart of the regime.

As panic sweeps through the presidential palace, ministers scramble to hide their greed, lies, and outrageous misconduct — while the unsuspecting impostor happily enjoys the luxury, attention, and influence suddenly thrust upon him. What follows is a fast-paced whirlwind of mistaken identity, political satire, and outrageous farce.

Packed with larger-than-life characters, razor-sharp humour, and biting social commentary, The UN Inspector is a wildly entertaining comedy that exposes the absurdity of power and corruption. Bold, hilarious, and brilliantly chaotic, this is theatre that will keep audiences laughing from start to finish.
