Plot of the play
As already mentioned, the bright show is based on the immortal work of Robert Louis Stevenson "Treasure Island". The plot is familiar to most from childhood through books, films, cartoons.
Jim Hawkins and his mother once settled a mysterious stranger in their tavern. His name was Billy Bones, a rude and restless resident who was clearly afraid of someone and asked Jim to keep an eye on whether a one-legged sailor appeared in the area. However, Billy is still found by his enemies. Black Dog did it first. An argument with the Black Dog takes Billy to bed for a few days. At this time, he confesses to Jim that he was the navigator at Flint himself, a pirate who terrified the sailors with his name alone. And now Billy is most afraid of getting a "black mark" - a pirate warning. But you can’t escape fate, and old Pew, the repulsive blind man, still hands Billy the mark. Unable to withstand such a blow, Billy dies. Realizing that a gang of pirates is about to descend on the tavern, Jim and his mother decide to take the money owed to them for the wait from Bones' chest. At the same time, Jim takes the package from the chest. Mother and sonbarely managed to escape, the pirates raided the tavern, but could not find what they needed.
And Jim, having met with Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney, gives them the package. At this moment, it turns out that in fact this is a real map of the island, on which pirate treasures are hidden. The gentlemen decide to find these treasures and take Jim along as a cabin boy.
This event will drastically change the fate of all actors. Heroes are waiting for adventures and dangers, new friends and insidious enemies. But honor, decency, devotion, a thirst for freedom and justice will help you overcome all adversity and achieve your goals.

From the first minutes, what is happening on stage captures the attention of the viewer and does not let go until the very end.

Guests of the theater note that the actors play so convincingly that during the performance you forget about everything and seem to plunge into the thick of things. Many are especially impressed by the play of the younger cast, children perform their roles so well that sometimes it seems that even adult actors are inferior to them in professionalism. All the actors and directors managed to create a hooligan story from a rather gloomy novel, not for a minute allowing the viewer to get bored. Gymnasts, jugglers, clowns, who created a feeling of crazy fun and improbability of what is happening, received special praise from the audience.
The absolute majority of the audience who watched the performance also madly like the songs, music, vocal data of the guys who played the role of Jim Hawkins at different times.
But in fairness it should be noted that there are viewers with a different opinion. Not everyone likes what actors do every day.
