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.

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.
