TREASURE ISLAND

On December 10th we saw the show “Treasure Island”, acted by the Play Group.

It was based on the story written by Stevenson in 1883, but there were a lot of differences because the show was adapted to young learners of English, like us!

It is the story of Jim Hawkins who runs a pub with his mother. Their new guest, the old sailor Billy Bones, eats and drinks every day but he never pays. When he dies, Jim finds a bag of golden coins and a “treasure map”. Immediately he decides to go to the port of Bristol where he rents the “Hispaniola” from Long John Silver and he sails to the island. But the old sailor wants to kill Jim to take his map and get the treasure himself, so, as soon as they get to the island, the boy escapes from the ship.

On the island he meets Ben Gunn, an eccentric old man who shows Jim where the treasure is buried.

They fight the group of pirates led by Long John Silver and, in the end, they win; they take the treasure but only five people come back to England.

...Our comment

The show was very interesting, not boring. The actors were very funny and they “played” with the students. Giuseppina e Nicole

I liked the show because it was very easy and funny. Rocco

I liked it a lot because it was amusing. Kateryna

The actors were Francesco, Antony and Martin. Francesco was the best because he was really funny . Actually, he is the only Italian actor... He is from Naples.

The Play Group is really good at acting!

The scenery was simple but very “smart “ and well built. Luca

I think the actors were very clever in the scene changes. Maora

I liked this show and I understood it better than Dracula which we saw two years ago. I think Francesco is really funny, Anthony is more serious, Martin is my favourite and he is very good at acting. All together they are really the most beautiful group! Rosa
